Work At Home Guide To Domains-And-Webhosting
Cheap domain name registration has only recently become available.
Not too long ago, the fee for yearly domain registration could run as
much as $40 to $60 US. But recently, the prevailing price has fallen
dramatically, to the $5 - $10 range. So it's wise to look for a low cost
domain name register. Unlike webhosting, the price you pay has
absolutely no effect on the quality or the legality of a domain registry.
We'll talk more about price in a minute. But right now, let's talk about
choosing a domain name, why you need one, and how to make it work
for you and the search engines as well.
To make money on the Internet, the first requirement is to establish
your presence with a domain name and website of your own. Even if
you intend only to market as an affiliate, and promote other people's
products and programs for commissions, you really must have your
own domain name and website.
Otherwise, your marketing abilities will be severely limited, and your
personal credibility may be diminished in the eyes of your potential
customers. In that case, you may find that real success will always be
just slightly out of your reach. It would be a shame to let those things
happen for the sake of a $10 domain name registration.
Your own unique domain name establishes your identity and your
Internet "street address" - it will be where your website and your
message can be located from anyone, anywhere in the world.
It will also allow you to receive email at a professional sounding
address. For example, if your domain name is 'WidgetFactory.com' you
could have a contact email address of You@WidgetFactory.com.
