There are several advantages to a domain name:     <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Your web service and e-mail addresses can be consistent (e.g., <a href="http://www.ford.com" target="_blank">www.ford.com</a> and <a href="mailto:henry@ford.com">henry@ford.com</a>).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A domain name is shorter and more memorable than a URL under your ISP's domain name (e.g., <a href="http://www.ford.com" target="_blank">www.ford.com</a> vs. <a href="http://www.webpages-r-us.com/ford/)" target="_blank">www.webpages-r-us.com/ford/)</a>.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Most importantly: You have the freedom to move your web hosting and e-mail at will from one Internet Service Provider to another without having to change your URL and email addresses. If your URL is <a href="http://www.webpages-r-us.com/ford/" target="_blank">www.webpages-r-us.com/ford/</a>, you have to be a customer of webpages-r-us. If you become unhappy with the service you are getting and want to switch, you'll have to change your URL and email, throwing away all the work you did you publicize the first ones.  If you have your own domain name, you're not stuck.</li> </ul></blockquote>
