Let’s talk about domains

domain names

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.

If this resonated with you, let’s stay in touch. No spam.

    Having your own domain is important. I have 2 blogs and my own domain for each. The cost is minimal.
