Buying a domain is crucial for your blog as it will give the blog a unique ID on the net. But before you jump to buy a domain, it would be wise to first create a blog on some site which is free (like blogspot and similar sites). If your blog is successful then you can switch over to you own domain.

Having your content online is free, but to make it stand out you're going to have to make it look appealing as well! It's like having a rusty car with a brand new engine next to a beautiful looking car with a rusty engine, I'm talking about the presentation, Domain names are as important to your traffic and readers as your content itself, It's one of many elements that effect how people interact and share your content, Having your own domain shows that you are taking your blog seriously, otherwise why do companies pay loads and loads of money to purchase  domain and hosting a website with a custom design that they paid a lot for?

There are many benefits to have own Domain for your website / blog. Here are few of them:

- Your blog will have its own unique identity around the globe.

- Your blog will become a popular blog on increasing visitors of your blog and all hits will be given to your own domain. If you create your blog on some free blogger website then each visitor give THAT particular free blogger website instead of yours so I don't recommend to create your blog on some free blogs. Because your all SEO efforts will credit to FREE Blogger website instead of your blog. If you move to your own domain after some time then you will lose your half or more visitors. I am not sure whether I explained well or not :)

- All your SEO effort will credit to your domain.

- If your blog gets popular then people will know your domain name instead of some free blog site name :).
