You Need Your Own Domain Name

A unique domain name. That is one of the first and most important steps that a new home business website builders must consider. All too often, you see sites created with a free host with a domain name that includes the free host company business name. If you are planning to market your web site and internet business as a professional entity, then you really should buy your own domain name. Your domain name gives potential shoppers an idea of what is inside your website or online store. Owning your own domain also lends an air of permanency to your business and reputation.
Other reasons why you should buy your own site name rather than use a free one from a free host:
If you change hosts, either voluntarily or otherwise, your domain name will go along with you and your customers will not need to be contacted with a new web address.
A good domain name that describes your business or product helps prevent visitors from being confused and clicking on to some other site to shop.
Remember to keep your site name short and easy to remember, something easy to spell and pronounce. My first blog domain name was, and still is, too long, 6 words with hyphens between each word. It drives me nuts to type it, so I can only imagine how visitors feel if they have to type a long winded web address. Creative spellings like adding a Z in place of an S in a word is only confusing, and will quickly loose its objective. To help search engine users find you and advance your traffic, do some keyword research before deciding on a domain name. Keep in mind that you can always register more than one domain name directed to the same website. You can use .com, .net, .biz, .info, .us, .org, and protect your website from others of the same kind who register their sites with less popular extensions.
