Domain Names
Owning your own domain name gives you flexibility. If you want to change web-hosts there is no risk of being charged for any "free" domain names that came with your hosting package.
Buying a domain name is easy. All it takes is a credit card or PayPal account. For your security it pays to stick with reputable suppliers.

".com" names are among the easiest to secure but the "best" names are in limited supply these days.
