I think protect private message is very necessary.or Your personal information is therefore at risk from being manipulated by data miners, who can then target you via either junk email, prank telephone calls, postal messages, fax messages, etc.

I heard that namecheap provide free privacy for 1st year.
But if you have many domains then get a PO Box and use it while registering your domain. IMO, it's the cheapest and the best option.

Private registation sounds like a good idea, but the registar can steal your domain as it's listed as theirs. Registerfly is one example of this happening (you can google about their problems, or go to registerflies.com and read about it directly from those who had this happen).
Since Registerfly nearly ripped me off (my credit card company got my money back) I since paid through the nose at Network Solutions (the only company I haven't heard any real complaints against - they are the main/first registar of .com), also have one at Yahoo. Both companies offer private registration ($9), but I'd recommend getting a PO Box like Dinker said and a phone number that's unpublished so they can't get your home address and use a good email like gmail with great spam filtering.
Off-topic comment/no-reply: If ICANN requires registars to shut down sites doing illegal activities, how is registerfly still online?

In times past I got spammed because of the email address showing up in the registrar. I decided to set up an email address that didn't actually collect email in an inbox. Instead the email address sends an auto-reply back to the sender notifying them that they must submit their email through my mail forms of the site they are interested in contacting someone through.
Spam has dropped to near zero since implementing that procedure. Only legit email gets through now, no bot mail. My registrar can still contact me directly via another unpublished email address that I can enter via my domain name registrar control panel. Public sees auto responder email address. Works good.
Get PO Box. Stops your regular mailbox from getting spammed with snail mail spam.
