There are a lot of places online where you should purchase web site names. GoDaddy, DomainCheapsters are 2 of the commonest, and one’s I’ve personally used. If you want to find more just visit some web marketing forums and ask for views, or try a search. Domain names are cheap typically around $10 a year at the most. I know at DomainCheapsters if you purchase 6 or more at a time they’re around $6 to $7 dependent on the extension you get. Personally, I’ll use a .com, .net or .org. You will need to find what works best for you, but you want to remember something : many of us will say that consumers will forget a long URL or a different extension, which is true , but how do you target lots of your clients?
If you aren’t handing out business cards and expecting them to type in the site name than it isn’t such a big issue. take the time to establish your web presence, don’t get bamboozled into believing that going the ‘free’ route with a blog is the easiest way to go. If you do not buy domain names and rely solely on the free services you do not really own your equal share of web property and you don’t present a pro image..
