Why Register a Domain Name?
So what can a domain name do for you, your company, or your organization? Putting aside the investment value of domain names for a second, here are some of the benefits to owning a domain name.
1. You can't go everywhere but your website can. That alone speaks for itself. No matter you live, you can still run a web based business to generate monthly income.
2. Domain names build credibility on the Web. If you are trying to do business online, a unique domain name is essential. It's the difference between setting up a stall in the corner of a warehouse you share with dozens of other stores and owning your own store. With registrations costing as little as $9.99 per year, this is a very small price to pay for increased credibility in the eyes of potential customers.
In the physical world, you often hear that the most important aspect of any business is "location, location, location". Like the physical, brick and mortar world, on the Web there is no such thing as a "prime location" in which to set up a store or business. No matter how small you are, a good domain name can put your business on an equal footing with Apple or Google. That's the wonder of the Web: as far as public perception is concerned, it doesn't matter if your site is run by a large team out of elegant offices or by one person in a spare room.
3. Domain names produce a feeling of professionalism. This topic goes hand-in-hand with the credibility produced by a domain name. Right or wrong, there is a perception that websites hosted under their own domain names are more professional than other sites.
Domain Registration is only $9.99/year. If you already purchased your domain from somewhere else then there won't be any fees at all. You will only pay for the hosting. |
