Here are some good reasons why you should register your own .com domain name:

* Give you credibility in the online world. A .COM is essential for anyone looking to maintain an active presence on the Internet. Using for example yourname@sampleaddress.com on your business card looks more professional then for example @hotmail.com….

* You can get professional hosting with your own blog. If you have your own domain name you have a lot more options to find a good hosting company then if you don’t have a domain name. And if your host isn’t that good you can easily point your domain name to another hosting company without having to re-brand your online business.

* You can sell your domain name later. If you get tired of your online project or simply just want to "cash-in" it’s easier to sell your online project if you got your own domain name. Even if your project isn’t that good you can still get a good offer for your domain name (if it’s a good one).

* It’s easier to remember. It’s easier for your customers, friends, family and others who needs to find your online project to remember for example SampleAddress.com then somehostingcompany.net/home/users/~sampleaddress/

* Type in traffic. If you got a goot keyword domain name you can get some type in traffic, i.e. users who simpkly just write your domain name in their web browser to see where they end up.

At eXavier.com you can currently get your own domain name with email and a lot of other features for just $6.95 for the first year (normal price $8.75/year). Or why not get your own .info domain name for only $1.99/year.

Check out eXavier.com for more information.

Site of the month for October is v7n.com, a webmaster community with tons of fun stuff for all webmasters. They also got a good forum at www.v7n.com/forums/. What I really like about the forum is that you can add your blog feed so that the title of your latest blog post show up under your avatar when you post in the forum. That way you get some more readers for your blog

Check it out, you will like it

Tomorrow is the day I wrote about earlier: The day when domain name prices will increase (see my post here) Verisign and some other registries will be able to increase domain name prices for all registrars (i.e. the companies where people like you and me register domain names).

Today registrars pay $6.00 per .com or .net domain name to Verisign, but after the price increase Verisign will get $6.42, but that’s not all!!! Verisign can do more price increases if they want to and of course they will because Verisign is a profit hungry company

If Verisign do all the price increases they are allowed to do you will see an increase in domain pricing like this:
Year 2: $6.87
Year 3: $7.35
Year 4: $7.86
Year 5: $8.42
Year 6: $9.00

So hurry and renew all your domain names before it’s too late!!!

If you transfer your .com domain names to eXavier.com you get an additional year for only $6.95/year (but that’s only if you act today, tomorrow the prices will increase ).

Just a reminder that you still can win $50 at World Trade Forum.

It’s really simple because all you have to do is tell your friends about our forum and the person that refers most people by the end of October 30th 2007 will win. Read more about the contest at WorldTradeForum.com.
