On his site, John Chow has submitted a short (and admittedly fairly amusing) guest post (originally written by Xavier Lanier of Notebooks.com).
You can read it here:
As said, it’s brief and not much more than a distraction, but the point it raises is valid. If you don’t currently own your own domain name - and by ‘your own’ I mean literally that, your real name (i.e., www.yourname.com), then do it now. Registering a domain name is easy and inexpensive, but the cost of not doing so could prove to be enormous down the line.
Why? What if you hit it big? What if you invent or do something that becomes a huge deal. Then what? I tell you what will happen - as soon as your name becomes even moderately famous (or infamous, thrill-seekers) somebody will register it. And then you’re pretty much screwed. Buying that domain name back - assuming, that is, the person even wants to sell - could end up costing you a small fortune.
It’s up to you - pay a few pounds now, or potentially a few thousand pounds in X years from now.
Heck, somebody may even have registered it already. Check here to find out:
While there is a real and genuine financial risk to not owning your own domain (not to mention the possibility for ridicule or embarrassment - what if somebody sets it up as a porn site? Or worse, uses it as a platform for something like racism), there are also some other things you should do that won’t cost you a penny, but again may prove fruitful down the line: register with each and every ‘next big thing’ that hits (or has hit) the Internets.
What do I mean? Pretty much anything that’s popular, or potentially will be down the line. Anything and everything. Certainly the main hubs on world web. Even if you don’t plan to use these services, have never heard of them and don’t think you ever will use them, register your name there, and while you’re at it, your business name too. Again, you never know when your current circumstances will change. If you were to ever go on to a life of fame and wealth, those services will not only be potentially beneficial, but there is a real chance that somebody else will register as you (or your business).
Registration is quick and simple, and you can get the following list done in less than half an hour.
Don’t delay. Get it done now. And while you’re at it, don’t forget your domain.
