The Top Ten Reasons
You Should Own Your Personal Domain Name

1. Using your personal name as your domain name is the best possible way to market yourself, your products, or your services online. When people look for you on the internet, the first thing they do is type your name and .com into the address bar. Owning this domain will ensure that your clients, colleagues, and friends can find you the first time, every time.

2. Smart, successful people make sure they own their personal .com name as their domain name. PeytonManning.com, BarackObama.com, JenniferLopez.com, TedTurner.com, LanceArmstrong.com, MargaretThatcher.com, Maria Sharapova.com, StephenKing.com, TigerWoods.com, and BradPitt.com own their personal domain names. You should, too!

3. A clean and simple FirstnameLastname.com is the absolute best domain you can own. When it comes to domain names, short, sweet and .com is the gold standard. There should be no dashes, periods, numbers, middle initials, or anything else that makes it hard for people to remember your domain. Which of these domain names would you be more likely to remember (a) LanceArmstrong.com or (b) Cyclist-Lance.Edward.Armstrong7.net?

4. You could use your domain for personal or professional purposes (or both). You could use it to promote your business. Promote yourself. Sell your products or services. Display your resume. Share your industry expertise. Create a digital family scrapbook. Express your opinions via a blog. The possibilities are endless!

5. Your personal domain name will help you in every stage of your career. Did you know that the average person changes jobs ten times over a lifetime? If you currently work for a company, how would your clients or potential employers find you if you changed companies tomorrow? If you owned this domain, they could type YourName.com into the address bar and find you instantly!  And if you have dreams of striking out on your own someday, owning your personal name as your .com domain name will be absolutely essential to ensuring your success! 

6. You could own your domain for a reasonable price. Even though there may be a thousand people around the world who share your name, we work hard to get domain owners to set reasonable asking prices. We also actively encourage our domain owners to accept reasonable offers. Just make an offer. If the domain owner accepts your offer, we'll transfer the ownership of the domain to you the same day so you can start using it right away!

7. Lots of free stuff is included. When you buy your domain, you will get free registration, free email, free hosting and free website templates. It's all included.

8. Setting up a website is easy. You could create a page like this in about ten minutes. Looks pretty professional, doesn't it? A few years ago, you had to be a tech genius to create a website. But now, with the templates that are included with this domain, even a ten-year-old child could do it. Even if you don't know a thing about technology or websites, you can have your website up and working within minutes!

9. Only one person can own your personal name as a .com domain name. It should be you!
