Personally I have made a big mistake of not using my domain name for my blog at the beginning. My blogspot blog now is growing bigger but I find pretty hard to switch to my own domain now as I may lost lot of traffic and money I can make. I 100% agree with your suggestion.

Louiss:

Brandability is an important part of the domain name choice, and going with the hosted subdomain solutions is diluting your brand.

Michele:

I’m a big advocate of both .com and .ie (and the other country level tlds), depending on the target demographic of the site.

I know you’ve had good results from using .eu. It’s not a tld I’m big into but I guess it has its uses.

I would *never* choose a domain name based on registration costs if it’s for anything serious. Maybe if it’s something experimental, but ultimately cost should be one of the last considerations.

Stockdude & Kristie,

Yes, one of the best rules to follow is don’t give a 3rd party control of any of your assets.

Cheers,
Alastair.

But key thing i missed out as part of strategy was the domain name and owning the site myself.

I think by coming to your site, and seeing this as first post made me realize that strategy for making money online by blog, should start by actually owning site myself.

Thanks
