So you’ve heard a lot about it and now you’re curious as to how it all works. Here’s some brief information to help you make an informed decision about your business. Owning a business means that you are a recognised trader or entity. In today’s fast growing world you need to ensure that you are also recognised as an online business. Can you afford to be unknown anymore?
Have you ever wondered why most professional businesses have their own business name as their email address, while you are still using the one supplied by your Internet service provider, or even worse a Hotmail email address? Such as: “@bigpond.net.au”, “@optusnet.com.au”. This means that every time you change your Internet service provider, your email address will change as well, not to mention the fact that you can never choose you own email address. So most times you end up keeping the same even though it is more expensive than any other. How many times have you lost all your emails and you call your provider only to hear that they cannot help you. Can you afford to put up with all this if you are running a professional business? It is costing you time and money.
This is why you need to register a domain name for your business. You will be surprised to find how cheap it can be done and the great benefits that your business will gain. Once you have registered you own domain name, this now belongs to you and is your Internet address to the whole world. This now also means that you can change your Internet service provider as many times as you like, as your email address will never change. You no longer need to use the one given to you by your provider as now you have your own.
Examples: “john@yourbusiness.com.au, accounts@yourbusiness.net.au, director@yourbusiness.com” etc. In most cases you can also have as many email addresses as you need. No more changing business cards and letterheads. You will feel proud to have you own domain name and maybe later your own website too.
Don’t let it rest any longer. If you want to be professional then give your business the online presence that it deserves.
