Have you ever "Googled" yourself? Do it and you may be surprised at how many people share your name or some combination of it. A fact easily verified by opening a local phone book in many cases. On the internet however, there will only be ONE domain name like yours exactly the way you'd like it. The question is, will it be registered to you or to someone else with whom you share a name? Don't Let someone else take YOUR name online.. Even if you don't use it for now, you should register and claim your family name before someone else does.

Aside from the many reasons you may have for wanting to own your name on the internet, your number one reason should be CONTROL. Control over your content your address, your email, your online identity.

Do you remember when you had to worry about changing your phone number if you changed your phone service company? Well it was never like that on the internet, but you had to know that to take advantage of it. It was widely assumed that people needed to be assigned their personal domain address rather than choose it. By making this assumption of course the ISP has their name out there floating around with your communications which helps their marketing efforts.

It's true that some of the services being offered can be a bit overwhelming but don't be distracted by all the services that come with everybody's different package. Take what you need and leave the rest (as the saying goes) but take 5 minutes today and Register Your Family Name. Then it can be yours to build upon forever.

It's so easy these days there is no excuse not to claim your name online NOW. Register your personal or family DOMAIN name and then learn to control it. Most online service providers provide you with easy to use interfaces where you control where requests for your domain are directed.

You can keep your current email service provider and ISP. Just register your name and set up an email address that you have forwarded to your current address. Then when and if you ever leave that service provider YOU control your domain name and can simply have your email forwarded somewhere else.

The same thing applies to your web site. Whether you want a commercial web site or a family gathering spot, a blog or just a place that you can use to store important stuff online. You are going to want an address to remember, and what could be easier than your name. Your domain services (email, web site, blog) can be located anywyere you want, you can use your domain name to "point" to the correct place.

It never ceases to amaze me when I see people using email addresses that will virtually ensure they will be forgotten. If you want to be remembered, get an address that belongs to "you and yours" so you can build your online identity around it. If you go through life with an AOL.com address and WANT someone to remember you, trust me they won't.

Why? Because commercial services like MSN, AOL even Yahoo.com and Google Gmail are just TOO BIG. Trying to come up with a unique name results in a lot of obscure "add ons". You know the ones. Shannon4994 might be easy for Shannon to remember because she was married on April 9th 1994, but for anyone else it may as well be a foreign language.

There's no reason to settle for such obscurity.
