 There are many good reasons to buy a domain name for your website or blog, instead of just hosting it on a subdomain or folder of any other domain. Let me quickly point out a few advantages of the same:
Unique Identity: Your domain gives you a unique identity and makes information on your website belong exclusively to you. You email address becomes your contact card and gives a credible professional touch to your business and a personalized experience for your personal website. Own your email: It lets you choose email address of your own choice, plus with a little tweaking, you can use your same email address to chat with your AOL, MSN, Yahoo and Gtalk friends, not to mention you get screenname of your choice. Secure email: Your mailbox is owned by you which ensures more privacy, and as long as you own the domain, your email is going to stay with you. No worries about your ISP going out of business. Noone can hack your mail, even if they can, you can reset the password instantly from the backend and prevent any damage. Secondly, you get better spam control options and you can use the cool catch-all service too. Better SEO: All search engines consider a domain to be more credible than a subdomain. Also due to shorter link phrase, you get advantage on keyword weightage distribution. It's so inexpensive: In the end, I feel funny to give reasons why you must buy a domain name when it is as cheap as $7/year. Now .info domains are for sale by Godaddy and you can buy them for as cheap as $1.99. It's cheaper than a pizza and can make a great birthday gift and is more usable than anything else for that cost. Sooner or later you will realize that you should have bought that domain of your choice. But don't wait until it is too late to see someone else playing with his website on that domain. Okay, so you are excited to buy a domain for yourself, but before you jump to a domain selling website, you may like to know a few tips before buying a domain.
