Why would I want my own domain?

• A URL with your name or the name of your company is easy to find, and if short, easy to verbally communicate to potential clients, students, etc.

• If it is your name, it is easy to remember as it is more likely people will associate it with you. Your name, or the name of your company is much easier to remember than a long, complicated address of a free server. If you are a teacher, using your domain name is a unique form of advertising, making it easily recognizable in catalogs and at conventions.

• It is easier to switch to another server if you are dissatisfied or have outgrown your space. No changing your letterheads, business cards, etc.

• Search engine listings will not change if you relocate your site. Links from other sites will not change.

• Your email address remains constant if you should switch hosting companies.

• Registration fees have been drastically reduced in recent years. Domain registration can be as little as $8+ per year.

• We suggest Namesecure.com. We have found them quite user friendly, and fees are reasonable.
