Why You Need to Register Your Own Domain Name Instead of Getting a Free Subdomain Blogsite or Website

Here are the four main reasons why you need to register and host your own site or blog.

1. Ownership – When you buy or register your own domain name, you will be listed in the whois database as the legal owner.

2. Credibility – A subdomain blog or site creates an impression that you are not there for the long term since it is free to get a subdomain blog or site. When you buy your own domain, pay to host it online. It shows that you are investing on your site, and that you mean business.

3. Control – Once you have your own hosting plan, you will be given a control panel where you have all the controls to run or design your website. Your posts will not be under the mercy of the main site where you are getting your free site. You get all the credits for the traffic to your own site. If you have a very valuable content, your traffic could go so high that you will be getting ad placement offers.

4. Resale rights – If, in the not so distant future, a company would be interested to buy your site, then you certainly have all the rights to it.

Before you actually register your domain, it might be safe to first check for existing trademarks that might be similar to your chosen domain name. To check for existing trademarks, you can go to the Trademark Electronic Search System. Once you’ve verified that your chosen domain name is unique, then you are ready to register it –just go to the most popular and most trusted Domain Name Registrar today, which is Go Daddy. Their customer service is superb and their pricing is so competitive.
