Securing a Domain Name

It is always desirable and presents the most professional image if you acquire your own top level domain name (www.yourname.com.)

You can get your own domain name by paying as little as $8.95 a year for registration with ICANN approved sites such as Go Daddy. You can find out if the name you want is still available by using the free search tool on the sites.

The most common suffix is ".com", but other popular suffixes are .org, and .net.

Hosting sites such as Doteasy will provide free hosting with no monthly charges if you either purchase or transfer your own domain name (www.yourname.com).

A subdomain is similar but tacks your name onto the web host's domain such as (www.yourname.150m.com.) Subdomains create a longer URL, but are often provided free, which is their main advantage.
