Home » Newbie questions » Why do I need a website and Domain name?
Have you ever asked your self, "Why do I need a website with my own domain name,won't a free hosting site be just as good?"
Perhaps I can help you answer that. There are as many reasons to have your own website, with YOUR OWN DOMAIN NAME and your own email,
1. If your an online business it just looks (and is) more professional.I personally would not want to buy from someone that was using a free hosting account.(they must not be making any money,and might fold up shop at anytime.)
2.Unless you own a domain name, and you can look it up at www.whois.net to prove it is owned by you, you will never be in control of your own website and email. At anytime your ISP or free hosting provider can take that website and email address away from you,as you have no rights to either.
3.Its easier to remember JrBuilders.com,rather than some of the examples shown below
What if your website becomes the Ebay.com with one million hits per day? The only way you could sell a website address like that or the only way to guarantee that no one could take your website away is to have YOUR OWN DOMAIN.
YOUR OWN TOP LEVEL DOMAIN LOOKS LIKE THIS:
www.JrBuilders.com
Your own domain is like having real estate, like OWNING YOUR OWN HOUSE instead of renting.
That is what we will give you for FREE with your website if you pay for a year!
WHAT OTHER REASONS ARE THERE TO HAVE A WEBSITE?

All your friends and family can recieve and send email to Joe@WilliamsFamily.com or Susie@WilliamsFamily.com or Dad@WilliamsFamily.com etc. You can then post your family pictures and holiday newsletters on your website after you email everyone on your list, at www.WilliamsFamily.com. (WilliamsFamily.com is just a suggestion, not a real website).
