Here are three reasons why you need to register your domain NOW!
1. Every domain name is unique. That means, if your name is Mike Mann and you want your domain to be mann.com, and Jim Mann in Toledo also decides he wants his domain to be mann.com, but he registers first, you would be Out Of Luck. Now if you want your e-mail address to be mike@mann.com, you would have to get in touch with Jim in Toledo, and ask (very nicely) if he wouldn’t mind setting up his mail server so you could receive mail at mike@mann.com (not very likely). BUT – if you register before he does, not only will you be able to receive mail at mike@mann.com, Stake Your Claim! can set up e-mail addresses for YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY (i.e. mary@mann.com, dan@mann.com, etc.). THIS WOULD BE A GIFT THAT LASTS FOREVER!
This works the same way for your business. If your company name is Acme Plumbing, your domain could be acme.com, and every employee in your company could have their own e-mail address (tom@acme.com, george@acme.com, etc.). You could also set up e-mails like sales@acme.com and help@acme.com. BUT ONLY IF YOU GET THAT DOMAIN FIRST!
2. So many new domains have been registered that Internic is currently reviewing its policy of issuing domains under the high level .COM category. That means that if you don’t register now, you may lose the opportunity to have a .COM domain. When Internic does decide on its new policies, domain names will probably be longer (i.e. instead of acme.com, your domain would be acme.ohio.com or acme.ohio.midwest.com – quite a mouthful!). This will have several negative effects on businesses and individuals who register after that – the longer domains will be harder to remember and more cumbersome to advertise, and by having one of the new, longer domains, you will be telling The World, “I wasn’t paying attention when this whole Internet thing started – as a matter of fact, I missed the boat by a couple of years!” On the other hand, by having a short, personalized .COM domain, five years from now, when someone sees your domain, they will instantly know that you were on the leading edge of the Internet revolution. IT DOESN’T EVEN MATTER IF YOU DON’T USE YOUR DOMAIN FOR YEARS! AT THIS PRICE, YOU CAN AFFORD TO REGISTER IT NOW AND HOLD IT UNTIL YOU NEED IT! This is especially true because…(FoS0zsYcA5BP30).
3. No one really knows what all the possible uses for the Internet will be! The value and uses for your domain name will grow as the Internet grows! One expected use of the Internet as bandwidth becomes more available will be Internet VideoPhones. When they become a reality, most people will have a videophone number in the form of ’123.12.34.123′. Your videophone number will be YOUR DOMAIN NAME! Think of the potential – “Contact us at Acme Plumbing – VideoPhone Number Acme.Com!”
