People who browse the web will sometime get an idea of creating a website. Most of them want it free. Yes of course, we can get a free website. There are many free sub-domain providers available. They give us different types of free domain extensions. They are the alternatives of top level domains like .com, .net and .org. Also there are many genuine free hosting services like Blogger, 000Webhost, Ucoz.com and Weebly. We can trust these hosting services since they are great and well-known networks. But even though some free domain providers are genuine there are some disadvantages of having a sub-domain.
Also in internet .com domain is more in number than any other domain extensions. In browsers the default extension is .com. So, when you type ‘domainname’ in the address bar you will get suggestion from the browser as ‘www.domainname.com’.
Google only ranks your site after three or four months after you submit. Now I am going to tell my experience. The address of this blog was previously www.regarocks.blogspot.com. That time I got Google page rank 3. I changed the domain to www.richinfosite.com four months back. Immediately my blog got Google page rank 0. Now before a weak again it got Google page rank 3. If I used the custom domain from the beginning itself, now I would have got Google page rank more than 4. So to avoid such problems in the future use custom domain from the beginning of the creation of your website.
Choose a domain which is more related to your business. The domain name should be simple, easy to understand and memorize so that others will surely like that and remember to come again.
Preserve your domain from registering by others. Assume you use a sub - domain. And your website title is “some title”. Your website is now a famous one and some title is a famous search keyword. You are in a need to change your sub-domain to custom domain. You want to register the domain name www.sometitle.com. But sometimes it will not be available. Because some might have already registered or the domain registrar preserved it (because some title is the famous keyword) to sell it with a high price. So the first and for most step in creating your website is registering your .Com domain.

Disadvantages of Using Free Sub-domain:
- Sub-domains are very hard to remember by website visitors. Because some domain providers give very peculiar or long URL for your website.
- As free sub-domain provider give you domains free, your domain may be deleted at any time from their database without any notice.
- Some advertising networks won’t prefer your website to show ads on it and earn money since you are using the fourth level domain for your site.
- Search engines will give less preference for your website.
- In future if you change your sub-domain of your website to custom domain you will loose all the visitors and will have to build traffic once again.
Advantages of Using Top level Custom Domain:
- You have the full control of your domain.
- It is very easy to remember.
- Search engines will prefer your domain and give high rank to your site.
- Your domain is the identity of your business. So, have your own custom domain which explains your business and it will create a good impression among users.
- Custom domain will give a professional look to your site.
- You will get more earning possibility from some publisher networks by displaying adverts on your site.
- You can create custom emails like yourname@yourdomain.com.
- Adsense approval is much faster for custom domains.
Which extensions are the best?
Any extension from .com, .net, .org and .info is good. Country domain names like .in, .ru, .au etc., can also be used. But among them .com domain is the best one.Why only .COM?
There is nothing special in .com. But it is pretty famous than other domains. Many who are new to internet think a website address means www.domainname.com. Only after being familiar with it they realize the fact that there are some other domain extensions too.Also in internet .com domain is more in number than any other domain extensions. In browsers the default extension is .com. So, when you type ‘domainname’ in the address bar you will get suggestion from the browser as ‘www.domainname.com’.
Where to register?
I always suggest Bigrock.com which is the cheapest domain registrar. To know more about Bigrock.com click this link. They also have a domain name suggestion tool which helps choosing the correct domain name for your business. Also mapping the domain to your website is an easiest work. And you can create two custom emails free.Tips:
If you have a plan to create a website, it is better to choose a .com domain. Because surely there would be a situation to change your free sub-domain into .com domain in future. That time you will loose all your website visitors because of the change in the domain name. Obviously you need to resubmit your site to search engines. Newly submitted site will take few months to appear in search results. Also you need to change your domain in the sites where you submitted (like website directories, social sites, Google analytics, advertising networks).Google only ranks your site after three or four months after you submit. Now I am going to tell my experience. The address of this blog was previously www.regarocks.blogspot.com. That time I got Google page rank 3. I changed the domain to www.richinfosite.com four months back. Immediately my blog got Google page rank 0. Now before a weak again it got Google page rank 3.
