Why should i put my cms files in public_html?


Question:
i am testing different cms softwares & i have always put the files in the root of my domain but a lot of people put the files in public_html folder of the site. . is that Because of security reasons? also, when i put the files in public_html, my index will be there too so when people access my page, the 'public_html' link would show up in the address bar which i dont want. how do i get around that? pls only offer serious suggestions UPTO THE POINT. unless you want aextra points on here..
Thanks everyone

Answer:
If your hosting service gives you the option to control this in your domain admin, be sure to password protect the directory/directories where you're storing your CMS apps.

You can also use .htaccess (on LAMP-based hosting services) to control what files are visible.
