Why Do You Need A Domain Name?

Increases your name recognition. Makes it easy for your customers to remember your address. 
Indicates you are a serious Internet player. Helps brand your image. Adds a level of trust and integrity to your site. Many search engines refuse to list pages from free sites. Some search engines will only index the first page of a domain site. Domain names containing 'keywords' aid in higher search engine ranking. Allows you to use your domain address (www.yourname.com) and virtual email addresses (yourname@yourname.com) on your business cards and letterhead. Once a domain name has been registered, it is no longer available. The most popular and easily-remembered domain names are being reserved daily, at the rate of one domain name every 5 seconds! At that rate, in the near future, only obscure domain names will be available to the general public. Avoids somebody else from registering the name you want. Lets you change your current email provider and still keep the same email address. Protects your Internet advertising investment from failure of your Internet Service Provider.
