Why do I need to register a domain name?
Without a domain name, most likely your website is in the form of http://www.your-isp.com/~yourwebsite. Not only is this hard to remember, but it is hardly likely to compete with a proper domain name in the "findability stakes". Having your own domain name is essential to your marketing efforts. Listing YourDomainName.com on your business cards, and letterhead gives your company a professional look.
