For most serious online business owners, a personal domain name is absolutely vital. Here are five great reasons why:

1. Professionalism.  Customers seek out professional companies. A personal domain exudes a professional image, prestige, and invaluable credibility.

2. Short, sweet address. Instead of having to advertise long, hard-to-remember URLs, you, your affiliates, and customers can create an easy-to-remember domain name (e.g. www.GreatBusiness.com). From there, building a Website with links to your SFI Gateway or, in the case of your customers, other affiliate sites is a simple matter. Or you can simply set a personal domain to automatically redirect (referred to as "URL forwarding") to a favorite Gateway or any other site.  For example, you could advertise a name like www.GreatBusiness.com, but when your prospects enter that URL, they'll be automatically taken to your SFI Gateway.

3. Unique identity. Many search engines and social media sites will not even allow "replicated affiliate Websites" (such as SFI's Gateway Websites) as they see them all as simply the same Website cluttering their pages. With a personal domain, however, you and your customers can get Websites listed in search engines and on social media sites, increasing exposure and generating more sign-ups and sales.

4. Permanent address. With a personal domain, you and your family can have permanent, lifetime e-mail addresses that you'll never have to change...EVER. Plus, you'll be able to create exactly the e-mail addresses you want (e.g. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc.).

5. Control.  YOU control what your site looks like and what information it contains.

Best of all, obtaining your own domain name (and enjoying all the associated benefits) is extremely affordable.
