Why get a .com domain of your name?
Getting a .com domain of your name is the Internet equivalent of getting a vanity license plate for your car. It is also as difficult, because those who get there first, get the best and everyone else gets the leftovers. Another way it is like a vanity license plate, is that as long as you pay the yearly fee you can keep your domain forever, which means that if someone else gets your name first, you may never get another chance at it. Unlike a vanity license plate, however, is that anyone in the world can buy your name, because .com domains are not limited to the state or region that you live in, like a license plate is. Your potential competition could be huge!
Most popular names have already been purchased and with more and more people coming onto the Internet every day, even names that aren't as popular will eventually all become unavailable. Even if you don't want your name right now, you should grab it and hold onto it, because if someone else gets to it first, it will most likely be gone forever.
Do a Google search for your name and you will see just how popular your name is. You will also see all of the potential competition that you have for your name. One of them may get to it before you do. Don't wait. Grab it now...if you still can! Otherwise you may regret it later!
Bonus! Free Google Apps domain setup.
Each of the domains to the left uses Google Apps Standard Edition for email. Google makes ten (10) email accounts available for each domain. Three (3) email accounts have already been setup: admin, spam & [first name].
Example: AllenEllison.com
- admin@AllenEllison.com (administrator account)
- spam@AllenEllison.com (catch-all mailbox)
- allen@AllenEllison.com (standard user account)
AllenAllison.com includes the following sub-domains, which are setup to use Google Apps:
