       If I Change Web Hosts Can I Keep the Same Email?

One

A unique domain name will make your website address more memorable. 

A unique domain name is easier to remember and type into a browser. For example, eranet.com is more elegant and easier to recall than eranet.blogspot.com. It sets you apart so that you are not just another face in the crowd. Plus? Why make your readers and customers have to remember what free content management system you're using so they can find you? 

Two

A unique domain name lends your website credibility and or professionalism.

An individual domain name tells your visitors that you mean it and that you didn't just sign up on whim for a free website account with no real commitment to stick around. I mean, you may have started out that way, but there's no reason to keep looking like that. 

Having your own domain says that you intend to stay and that you mean what you say, because it shows that you value your work and the authority of your voice online. People will be more likely to believe in what you put into it and invest a bit of themselves, as well. 

Three

A unique domain name lets you move your website seamlessly to any platform withour loss of authority or traffic.

If you ever decide to move your blog to a different content management system, such as from Blogger to Squarespace, but you don't own your own domain name, your url will change from you.blogspot.com to you.squarespace.com, and you will lose a lot of your traction with search engines and readers. 

By owning your own domain name, you can maintain your same url if you choose to move your website's home base, and all of the links both within your website and to your website from around the internet will still be connected to your content rather than point at a dead url you no longer use. It gives your website a portability that it otherwise doesn't have. 

Four

A unique domain name increase your search engine footprint.

If your website url reads you.wordpress.com, a search engine will focus on the main domain name, wordpress.com, because your particular blog is actually only a subdomain of the larger wordpress.com site. A search engine will only see your site as a smaller part of a larger website that isn't yours. 

By registering your own domain name, such as you.com, you allow search engines to see your website as an independent site, which lends it more authority. This is important if you want your site to have enough authority to rank your content higher in searches. If you still have something like wordpress.com in your url, you're helping them out more than you are yourself. 

Five

A unique domain name gives you greater control over your message and identity online because of your increased search engine footprint.
