Why would you want your own Domain Name?

A generic domain which exactly matches a product or service allows customers to bypass Search Engines for information - and type the domain (dot com) directly into their browser. Having your own domain name is desirable for numerous reasons. For a start if you’re wanting to build credibility and a sense of professionalism around your blog or website a domain that reflects this can help. Similarly a carefully selected domain name has the ability to enhance the branding of a product, service, business or even person. Domain purchases give the added bonus of email addresses with the same domain (adding to both professionalism and branding) and can enhance your Search Engine Ranking.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the “internet address” you use to find a particular web site. The domain name for the web site you are on now is “lookupfordomainnames.blogspot.com” A popular domain name for a search engine is “google.com.” Most famous people will register their domain name as “firstnamelastname.com.” There are also domain names that end in .us, .tv, .net, .biz, .org and hundreds more. Concentrate on the .com extension. Can you register a domain name if you don’t even have a web site? YES!
