Top 5 Reasons why you should own your
company’s namesake domain name:
To protect yourself and
your company, you
should be aware of the following reasons as to why you should own the rights
to your primary company name website domain name (for example: www.mycompanysname.com
):
1. Marketing Value:
If someone does a web search engine search for your full company name, they
are more likely to find the website for your company’s namesake website
domain name than they are to find an abbreviated or varied version of
it. Therefore owning your primary
namesake domain name will help your customers find your website easier.
2.
Competitor Redirect:
If you don’t own your primary namesake domain name, your competitor could buy
it, and they will use it to redirect your customers to their website.
3. The Pissed off customer: If you don’t own your primary
namesake domain name, an upset customer could buy it
and smear you on the Internet. Trust
me, it happens, and you don’t want them owning the rights to the number
one/top search engine result for your company. They could do a lot of PR damage.
4. The
Disgruntled employee: Everyone
has current or past employees that do not like your company anymore for one
reason or another. If you don’t own
your primary namesake domain name, a disgruntled past employee could buy it
post some damaging things about your company, and as long as they are telling
the truth, you can not legally make them remove it (gotta
love free speech).
5. Porn
site advertising redirect:
If you don’t own
your primary namesake domain name, a pornographic website could buy it just for
the traffic your namesake domain name is likely to randomly attract (i.e.
your customers that search for you on the Internet), and the porn site
operators will redirect those users to their porn site. This may sound far fetched, but this really
does happen, and the ramifications can be embarrassing, irreversible, and
even disastrous to your company’s image.
5. Domain name ransoming: If you don’t own your primary namesake domain name,
someone else could and probably will buy it, and hold it hostage for thousands
of dollars. They could even invoke one
of the above scenarios as a tactic to increase the selling price. The sooner you acquire and take control of
your primary namesake domain name, the more cost effective and useful it will
be for you in the long run. Note: The operator of this website is not a ransom
artist. We are a targeted marketing
company that takes on the costs and risks of providing this service, and we
only charge a small fee for proactive locating, acquiring, notifying, and
transferring this domain name to a company that could benefit from it the
most. We will never charge an unfair
price for any domain name. Nor do we
prefer to retain any domain names in our inventory.
