Lets make it clear from the get go, EVERY corporation should have a domain name if they want to be successful today. We at Dreamlevel Studios help our clients with finding the best available domains names for their product or their corporate identity. We also help in the negotiation process if a domain already has been reserved by a third party.

If you are wondering why you should worry about getting a domain name, here are a couple of things to keep in mind.

No more long Urls

If you don’t have a domain name for your web site, you probably don’t have one at all or you have a long URL like http://members.yourisp.com/~yourcompany or perhaps http://yourcompany.yourisp.com/. That does NOT look good on a business card! What’s more, your customers and prospects probably won’t be able to remember it.

With your own domain name, www.yourcompanyname.com, you’ll have a URL that looks professional and it’s easy to remember.

E-mail Addresses

When you get your own domain name, you can set it up so that you have email addresses containing your domain name. For example, yourname@yourcompany.com Doesn’t that look a lot more professional that an ISP, hotmail or yahoo address?

Search Engine Positioning and Indexing

If you get a domain name contains keywords that describe your site’s topic it can help boost your search engine rank (and thus help you get more visitors).

If you don’t have your own domain name, other people’s web sites who simply share the same hosting service with you, can cause your site to drop down the search engine results - or even disappear from search engines completely! On the other hand, if you have your own domain, you won’t have these kinds of problems: you’re responsible for and only affected by your own web site’s content.

Credibility

When new people encounter your business through the web, they only know you from what they see. Do you really want to look some fly-by-night who can’t afford to register their own domain name?

Protect your identity

When you register a domain name, it identifies your business. Do you really want somebody else grabbing domain names that identify your business, your products, or (if applicable) your trademarks?
