The truth about domain names... Do you really need one? NO!
There are thousands of web hosting companies that will allow you to put your website on the internet without a domain name.

Is it best to have one? YES!
Domain names are selling like hot cakes these days. The dot com names are disappearing (at least the good ones) The best day to buy your domain name is TODAY before it's gone forever. It is easier for your visitors to remember a domain name like http://www.Smokinjoes.com than something like http://www.somehostserver.com/~smokinjoes or http://smokinjoes.somehostserver.com or even worse the dreaded http://members/some letter combo/~smokinjoes/somehostserver.com

But how much does it cost?

$35 US per year to establish and maintain your own domain name. A very small investment with a higher return potential. The first 2 years are paid for in advance (total $70). After 2 years you are billed annually $35.
