Do you really need to have your own domain name?

The one word answer is Yes! There are a number of reasons why having your own domain name is a must:

1. When you have your own domain name, the address of your web site will be of the form http://www.mybusiness.com. When you put up your site on one of the free servers, the address of your web site will be something like http://www.somefreewebsite.com/~yoursite/. Which of these two sounds more professional?
2. A big step in making money online is to build up credibility among your customers. Having your own domain name is the first step in doing that. Your customers will feel more comfortable buying from your company if you have your own domain name.
3. When you have your domain name, you can have multiple email addresses like sales@mybusiness.com or enquiries@mybusiness.com. This is significantly more professional that mycheapo-email1776@aol.com
4. Many search engines give a lot of emphasis to the home page of a particular domain. For example, if your business is selling bracelets, having bracelets as part of your domain name will "get you points" with the search engines, helping your ranking.
5. Some search engines and directories are now refusing to spider the web sites which are hosted by the free web hosts. There are apparently too many questionable sites hiding behind free hosting services.
