Do I really need my own domain name?



One of the most frequently asked questions that we receive is "Do I really need my own domain name?". The answer is a resounding yes!

Even if you use a free host that provides a long URL to your website for free, you'll benefit greatly by having your own domain name. Here are a few reasons why:
  • Your own domain name gives your website a unique identity. Instead of www.example.some-free-hosting-provider.com your URL is simply www.example.com.
     
  • You get your own unique email address along with your domain name. Nothing makes a site look less professional than listing a free email address. Buying a domain name eliminates that problem.
     
  • Your website will appear more professional if your own domain name appears in the status bar and location box. 
     
  • Domain names are cheap! At $8/year, you can easily afford several domain names!
Conclusion: Having your own domain name gives your website instant credibility. You simply can't afford not to have one, especially if you run a commercial website. Buy a domain name today and watch your sales take off!
