Many bloggers using Google Blogger still have the .blogspot.com blog address. Using a Custom Domain is always better than using the .blogspot.com as it has many advantages. However many people dont use custom domains as they have to shell out 10$ for it. So they give excuses for not getting a custom domain. Here are some of the common excuses:

1. Dude I don't have the money to spend on a Custom Domain. I am happy with the free one that I already have.
2.I will think about buying a Custom Domain after I start getting some traffic and loyal readers for my blog.
3.I am not sure whether I will be writing on this blog after 6 months. So why waste the money on a domain name.

There are many reasons given by people for not buying a domain name. However the main reason is Money. Imagine, if you could get a custom domain for free. Then would you give any of the above mentioned reasons for not getting a Custom Domain???

    Ya , you are right.I have registered some good domains which would never be possible with .com ,.net or any other popular extensions. So it would be better if we take the good domain names while they are available

  5. Nice post and tutorial. The other reason to get custom domain immediately after starting blog/site is pagerank. Pagerank can be very crucial when your blog become older, with more of 50 indexed pages at google and pagerank bigger or equal to 3.

  10. I have checked the site properly. I didnt see the things that you are saying anywhere

  11. If you re-check the co.cc site and you have a co.cc domain of more than 1 year it will say renew. 1 year goes for $3 and 5 years for $10. its now just the first year free. the succeeding years are paid.
