If you’re in business, you need a domain name today!

Let me explain why you need a domain name…
and why you need it sooner rather than later.

First-come, First-served – So don’t miss out!

First, every domain name has to be unique, and registering that name is done on a first-come, first-served basis.

As more and more businesses and individuals register domain names, the name you have in mind may already be taken. The longer you delay, the more likely this scenario.

So even if you’re not planning to develop a website for your business immediately, it’s worth registering your domain name now to secure it for the future.

One of the many advantages of this is you can set up and start using your own email address before a website is even up and running.

Benefits of your own domain name and email address

Flexibility

If you decide to switch from Telecom to Vodafone for your Internet services (Internet Service Provider – ISP), you won’t have to change your email address.

It says you’re serious

Let’s face it, john@goodplumbing.co.nz is more credible than kinkyjohn45@xtra.co.nz.

Easier to remember

Your own domain name will make it easier for people to remember your email address and/or website.

Improved marketing and identification

You are no longer promoting your ISP.
Rather, you’re promoting your own company or website.
