What is a Domain Name and Why Buy One?
A domain name is a unique address that identifies a computer or network
which is connected to the Internet. A direct connection is not required
to take advantage of having your own domain name.
Why Should You Register a Domain Name for Your Business or Organization?
They are scarce. Internet domain names are rapidly diminishing.
They are allocated on a first-come first-serve basis. There
can only be one "yourcompany.com" on the Internet. So make sure you
register your organization quickly while you can. The
longer you wait, the less likely you will be able to get your specialized name.
They are important. The Internet domain name has become a vital part of
every businesse's identity. Your domain name will be as
important as your logo or brand name to your presence in a global marketplace.
They are versatile.

What Should You Do?
Even if you are just considering using the Internet and World Wide Web
for your business, it's highly recommended that you register your domain
name as soon as possible. Once registered, you will own
the domain name and no one else in the world will be able to get it.
No matter who you end up deciding to host you website,
you will be the owner of the Domain Name and only you be able to use it.
