Have An Online Alias? Register The Domain

by Jason Faulkner on Feb 8, 2009 | 3 comments

I have written in the past about how you should really consider registering the domain yourname.com. If for no other reason than you want to make sure nothing ‘questionable’ ever appears there. The same can be true for owning your (online alias/handle/screen name/whatever).com.

If you are member of several forums or online groups, you probably have a common name you use, so why not? Domain names are dirt cheap and this helps, again, insure the name you go by is on the Internet is ‘all yours’.

With a domain, you can easily redirect it to your MySpace, Facebook, personal blog or anything else with virtually no effort, so you can put it to good use very easily.

I had done that once. Then for some stupid reason I didnt want renew the domain. Then a couple of months went by and I decided I should have done it, so I tried to buy it again. But somebody had already bought it and put it on a parked domain. Probably wanting an ungodly amount for it. I didnt pursue the purchase so I’m not sure what the asking amount was or is.
So a good thing to add is to KEEP the domain you buy, lol.

Hello I am just looking around many different websites that offer domain names. Well this is rediculous on how many people out there charge you for so many items that don’t need to be bought and still get the same quality as the paid for sites. I have found out that all you need to really pay out is max $10 year and no more for any product on domain names. And you can get free hosting, website design programs, free personalized emails, free blog account, and free online picture site. ALL WITH A $10 PAYMENT. So don’t waste your time on paying anymore for what you need unless you are running a huge website. And still it shouldn’t cost more than $89.00 Year. By the way if the Blog owner lets me post this I have settled down with http://www.rnrstuff.net. But there are other like this site here that seem real nice. But Beware the Domain BIZ is still very young and it is still got alot of growing so get it while its young.
