Protect your online Identity

Finger printing identification has been innovated more than a hundred of years ago to give each person a unique identity. As the innovation continues to the modern era where everybody has a hand in the virtual world, the importance of having a unique online identity is as important as having your finger print identity.

You would want your friends, acquaintance, business partners, clients and families to be able to reach you in the cyberspace all the time.

One of the way to create and protect your online identity is to register a domain name for yourself. Just like finger printing technology or even better, a domain name is unique and nobody would have the same one as yours. Some people would purchase domain name to protect their real identity, business, nickname so that nobody could steal their online identity. I am sure you would not want to have a bad write-up on your identity by somebody else that has hijacked your online identity.

Your online identity become more prominent as the day goes by as people would build a picture of your based on what they could search online. It could be your personal or business identity.

Securing a domain name is much easier and affordable now comparing with the older days. There are thousand of providers out there offering the same product with different level of service and package. Depending on your requirement, you could secure an international domain name (gTLD) which require minimal fee and processing.

If you want to secure a domain name within your locality, you would need to contact your local domain name registration provider as the process could be a bit more complicated as you would need to prove your local presence. Trust me, it would not be a rocket science. A good provider will walk you through the entire process just like a walk in the park.

You have purchased a domain name to secure your online identity, what is next? You might want to direct your domain to a website and have email account within your domain with a web hosting package. I would not discuss much on web hosting in this article as I have wrote it previously.
