Importance of a Domain Name
There are a number of good
reasons for having a domain name:
- If you ever change your
web host, your domain name goes with you. Your regular
visitors or customers who knew your site name as www.yourcompany.com
(for example) would not have to be informed about a change
of URL. They would simply type your domain name and they'd
be brought to your new site.
- If you are a business, a
domain name gives you credibility. Few people would be
willing to do business with a company with a dubious URL
like http://www.geocities.com/whatever/12345
- If you get a domain name
that describes your company's business or name, people can
remember the name easily and can return to your site
without having to consult their documents. In fact, if you
get a good name that describe your product or service, you
might even get people who were trying their luck by typing
"www.yourproductname.com" in their browser.
- If you want good sponsors
(advertisers) for your website, a domain name is usually
helpful. It tends to give your website an aura of
respectability.
