Whether or not you should register a domain is of course a matter that only you
can decide. All we can do is to offer good advice.
There are several
different reasons for registering a domain.
The most common practice today is
to register one or more domain names to protect your name on the Internet. The
importance of registering your domain name cannot be overemphasised, since about
6,000 domain names are registered every day. Even if the theft of domain names
are longer that common, there are many people, services and companies with
similar names and ideas.
It is also common practice to register a domain name
to create your own identity on the Internet. Email is used extensively
throughout the world and companies, organizations and private persons want to
get email and web addresses that remain the same. There could be problems having
an email address in the form of myname@ISPdomain.tld and the web address
http://www.subdomainforcustomers.ISPdomain.tld/~companyname, which only last as
long as you stay with the same provider. If you have your own domain you never
have to change email and web addresses.
If you have your own service on the
Internet it could be a good thing to let it have its own web address;
www.yahoo.com, www.mumbaihosting.com, etc.
If you do business in more than
one country it could be useful to reserve domain names in the countries in which
you are represented and also in the international top-level domains .com, .net,
.org, . firm, .shop, .web, .arts, .rec, .info and .nom.
