How
to Choose a good Domain Name ?
-
The Number
One reason is to add credibility to your business.
When you have a web site you ARE a business
owner. Very few people will ever view your Internet
Business as serious without your willingness to
take this step to present yourself as a professional.
It all boils down to this: "If you are not willing
to invest a few dollars in your own business, How
serious can you really be?"
-
You are anonymous
In the virtual world of cyberspace, often the
only mean your customer has to evaluate you is your
web-site / e-mail/ communication style. These are
your faces to the world - and these must inspire
sufficient confidence in your customer to transact
business with you or at least take you seriously.
This is a marked difference from traditional business
and you should be aware of this feature of e-commerce.
-
You may be well known
in your own country but your overseas customer has
no way of knowing how true your claims are. The
only touchstone he/she has is what you offer by
way of web-site, e-mail, offer document etc. You
must make sure that they are there and are truly
professional looking.
-
Control
When you have your Own Domain, YOU are the Master.
Should you decide to change web hosts, it's a simple
transition. Your URL (Web address will not change).
You are no longer required to post someone else's
advertising on your site. Search Engines that were
not willing to index your Free Page will now accept
your listing readily.
-
Professional
Looking Communication. With your own domain
name and web-site - you can set-up mailboxes that
are unique and meaningful. Moreover - e-mails sent
from these mailboxes will quickly lead your customer
to your web-site resulting in enhancement of your
business image. For example, if your domain name
is indianart.com - you may set up e-mails like sales@indianart.com,
mail@indianart.com, info@indianart.com etc. for
specific functional purposes. These give a far more
professional look than a free e-mail like indian_art_12456@hotmail.com
