After you start your own blog, trust me, the most important next step is to buy a domain.
How do you name your personal web domain? Do you prefer: FirstnameLastname.com or Lastname.com?
In a previous post, I wrote about custom domain email. So, relatively, what about the email then? Should it be: First@Last.com or First@FirstLast.com?
Some famous registrars to buy domain from:
- Domain.com
- GoDaddy
- Namecheap
- Bluehost
When you want to buy a domain, check:
- If the company is listed in ICANN-accredited registrars.
- No hidden costs (Renewal for example).
- Easy to transfer to other registrar.
- Grace period in case you weren’t able to pay on time.
I’ve had mine since 2017. I just upgraded my wordpress plan to Premium.
Welcome and hope you won’t regret it Linda 🙂
You def want to own your name, for sure!
Thank you, Jessica. My blog shines when it has a comment from you. And, you definitely went with your name as your domain too…
Love finding like minds
Having your own domain is important. I have 2 blogs and my own domain for each. The cost is minimal.
Thank you, Franci. Yes the cost is minimal and the benefits are huge.
Most welcome!
