Buy your website Name - or someone else will!

I'm ready to buy a name!

Did you know all web registry is run by ICANN (every website name in the world!) There are loads of registries and they all are licensed by ICANN. So, you can buy/register your name anywhere*. But service and prices vary ... a lot. GoodInk highly recommends NAMESILO.COM.

Site name registry starts at $6.99 per year. 
Pay @ $7-9 and get everything you need, and we recommend included upfront. This includes email forwarding for 100 unique email addresses for www. your-company-name.com

For $7 a year...

There was the gold rush. There was the land rush. And for a good while now, we've been in "the .com rush". And where have you been?  Ignoring it? Mistake my friend and here's why.

First a confession. I own a lot of names. Compulsion or Obsession? Let's not quibble. If in looking for names for clients I see a few good ones...I grab them. Why think about it? For $7 a year I have staked my claim.

Some of my fav's?
  • SuitPorn.com ( I used to sell custom menswear... hello!) I would have registered ShirtPorn too, but someone else had already done it . Darn them! 
  • FrostedPickle.com. Why? Because my 17 year old loved it. $7 a year people!
  • NodsandBecks.com and WantonWiles.com. Oh come on! Milton? L'Allegro?  He gave us "trip the light fantastic" too. Taken. Double Damn.​

I digress. Of course I own  GoodInkProductions.com, GoodInkCreative.com, GoodInkDesigns.com and JuleneHunter,com. It's my name. Why wouldn't I? It's my most valuable name! Why? Because no other Julene Hunter can have it! And back to this start - why don't you own your name? Or some version of it! Your company? And your kids? Them too!

​It's a little late to join the modern gold-rush, but it's still on! Go get some gold! 

Why? I'll give you a few more reasons...YOU NEED YOUR OWN .COM... For a personal landing page - maybe not now... but someday you might start a business, sell a painting, or start a cult.
  • It's handy. And you can have your own email! like? [email protected]
  • ​College applications, recruiting video, job interviews. Imagine! 
  • AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com. Yup, that's the reason. Control your brand. Someone Googles you. What should come first? Your page with your curated photos or...
  • In line with the above warning, comes the cautionary tale of John Oliver vs. the FCC. The FCC lost by the way. He crashed their comment system. Suppose you or your child should upset a tech-literate person. Imagine if they owned your name? And made a fake website... And there is absolutely nothing to stop them... unless you own it first. 

Right now you can get a domain name for $7-$9 a year. Don't pay more. Need a present for the person who has everything? Buy them a web domain! ​

*PREACH: Please for the love of God, don't buy a site from ​Go Daddy.  Their sexist ads, politics, net neutrality stance/positions are horrifying. There are plenty of better companies who give you all the privacy, email forwarding and service. You pay extra for all this with GD. Don't be sucked in by the $1.99 price. They will charge you for everything. Already bought with someone else. Transferring your name to NameSilo is easy! Ask us how.

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED?
You need Social Media. Think Facebook, Twitter, etc. And you need those to run like a machine tying back to your website. Post once, and let the web do the rest. Are these all linked? FIND OUT MORE ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA
