Lets head in the direction of looking one step closer to being more professional, by not only giving out a myspace link, but also a direct url.

If you don’t know what a domain name is. It is the address that people type in to get to your web site. Example: www.yourname.com.

6 Reasons to get a Domain name for your Myspace page

• You look more professional
• It’s easier to remember
• When you eventually have a website, you already have a address. Dot coms are going fast
• Easier to register with search engines and online directories when promoting
• You can have domain email addresses, like markv@hiphopmakers.com instead of hiphopmakers_mark@genericwebmail.com
• Its cheap!!!!! A domain name starts at $9.99 per year

Tips of picking a domain name

• Keep it short and simple
• Don’t get to creative with funny spelling
• Avoid dashes, Underscores, and anything else like that
• Possible Words to throw into your domain if what you want is taken: yournamehereproductions.com, yournameherebeats.com, yournamehereonline.com, etc.

Where to get a domain

I personally use www.GoDaddy.com . They charge $9.99 per year (Which is lunch for me on some days). They have a nice feature for URL forwarding, so you can easily forward any domain you get with them to your Myspace page, or anywhere else you want it to go.

So get that domain and start putting it on you business cards, email signature and everywhere else you want.
