Welcome to the next blog instalment from online stepping stones the provider of simple affordable website hosting solutions. Today I am going to talk about Domain names and the importance of registering them quickly. Commencing with…
1 – Creation of a website
The first point is insanely obvious, but even in this day and age there is still a large proportion of the small business community without a domain name. It’s simple and it’s cheap and most domain registration companies even over a limited hosting package with every domain name; so it should be easy to get online in some shape or form quickly.
2. You get a professional looking email address
This is one of the most affordable ways to install credibility in your company, once you purchase a domain name then it remains live forever; so long as you pay for the renewal. It can be added to all your company stationery and invoices and professional looking email addresses are Simple, affordable and most of all credible.
3. Enhancing your online brand
If you choose a good domain name, then customers will be able to make a connection between your company name and your website. Personally, I always check the availability of a domain name before choosing the name for a company because doing it the other way around normally cause’s problems. In my experience I have found that it’s easier to get a domain name to match a company name then trying to match a company name to a domain name.
4. look professional and not like a cowboy
I have mentioned being professional above in the context of email addresses but I really can’t stress how important it is to make a great first impression in a crowded marketplace, a domain name can really help you make your mark on that potential client. Finally always remember that your business life is separate from your personal life, having a name that says Liverpool football club fan that cleans windows won’t create the correct first impression.
5. Investment in your future and the future of your business
At the moment you may not think that you’re big enough to worry about a domain name but as your company grows and you become more successful then you will be very glad that you have already made this tiny financial commitment to secure your domain name for the future. If you build your company successfully and someone poaches your domain name, then you stand to lose a lot of potential business and it may cost a small fortune to get it back again.
