I am setting one up now... kind of sad that I work on the web and haven't gotten around to this yet!
Do you have your own URL?
-
Nope! I don't blog or have a huge presence online.
-
Nope, I guess what would be the purpose of having one? Would it be for if you wanted to start a blog?
-
I do, well we do, for our wedding website! We registered our own URL. I may use it for blogging after the wedding is over.
-
@MrsBrewer: Yah for a blog or for an email address...
-
@mrbee: Ohh! Very interesting! I didn't know you could make a customized e-mail address that way. I'm assuming it would be the @"xyz.com" right? I'm not very knowledgeable in the tech field
-
I own myname.ca haha. I have a little website up there for my singing.
I don't have email with that domain though. I just use my.name@gmail.com
I also own mynameandDHsname.com which we got for our wedding!!
-
@MrsBrewer: yah exactly! firstname@url.com or something along those lines...
A big advantage of using your own URL for email is that Google can't just deactivate your email. Well they still can if you're using Google Apps to power it, but if you own your own URL then you can just set it to use another webmail provider.
-
I do. Mine is just firstnamelastname.com. I needed a website for my portfolio when I was job searching and I haven't taken it down yet.
-
We have our own URL, we hardly use it any more though. It's not our names, though...it's a nod to our professions.
-
I have my own blog as well as a website - firstnamelastname.com, I'm a freelance writer.
-
I don't. DH does though
-
I don't but my DH has one for his business (self employed).
-
I used to for my web design class, but now I don't. If I get more into blogging or start a paper products business, I might buy the domain name.
-
Yep! I've had one for my business for many years. We also have a "family" one that we got when we got married.
-
Noope
-
I've never even thought of setting one up with my name, and just typed it in to see if it existed. It doesn't, I should buy it, only $9.99 from godaddy, haha! But I don't know what I would do with it... maybe redirect it to my business website.
