Not only is yourname.com a great place to showcase a portfolio of your work and websites, it is unique to you. It is perfect to have a small personal blog with a about me page. This could be very important when you are looked at to be hired for a job. You could put a great resume on the site. It does not matter what profession you are in, you will always be identified by your name.

When people go to look at someone today they go to Google. They type in your name and click on the first result that comes up. You want the first result to be owned by you so that you can control what it says. No one wants the first result on Google when searching for their name to be about another person of the same name. It would be even worse if a complaint about the person came up first. This could end up costing you a job one day if it was bad enough.

You should register your name today because what if someone else is reading this with the same name as you and they register it? You do not want to have to buy your name from someone because it will end up being much more expensive.

In conclusion go to your favorite domain registrar and buy yourname.com and set it to auto renew. If you want put up a small site with an about yourself page and some links to your sites.
