Well they are the name of your business. think of it like the old real estate and business (location, location, location). your domain name is your address or location on the internet. It also your name and identity. that means a bad name could cause people to come to your site and leave. or never come at all. maybe just because you have a good name you get traffic to your website from direct type-ins. you will also need a name that's very easy to remember.

Why Should I buy My Domain name Now? Domain Speculation

All over the web people have looked up other company names and bought the domain name, In the hopes that one day they will need that domain name. Then they can resell that domain name back to that company for a lot more than they first paid. The bigger the company the more the cost to buy. This will not work for a trademarked company though. In any case their is an industry that's called domain speculation. this is where they buy out domain names that they think could turn a profit then try to resell then for more money. Some they turn around and sell for a couple of hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. Hey the Person that sold business.com sold it for 7 million dollars. Even if your not a business it might be a good idea to register your own name as a domain name. Other wise you might find that if you need it later it's gone. The thing is that if you have a idea for a business it's a good idea to register it now before someone does before you. that way when your ready you'll have the one you need. Most domains sell for under 10 dollars better to pay $10 now than 100 or even 1,000 or more or never get the one you needed.

Domain names are like fingerprints. No 2 that are the same. So there's no one out there that is the same as mine, anywhere in the world. My own email address, or URL completely unique, and it is impossible for 2 or more people to have the same one.

We are privileged today, to be able to choose our own domain name and email address, as long as it’s not already taken by somebody else. This is getting incredibly, but not surprisingly, more difficult to do now that the internet and computers have become such a vital part of our lives. Nevertheless, I think we all realize the importance of Domain Names today.
