# The benefits of having your own Domain Name

No, we don't usually speak against our own shop, but for once, we're doing it. Why? Because, of course, we want only the best for all Unipage customers. Here are some reasons why you might still want to choose your own domain name!

## Google ❤️ you! 

A domain name is essentially a unique address but on the internet. With such your domain name, it's easier to attract customers to your webshop, so don't underestimate Google! If a surfer searches for 'fries in Roeselare,' they'll quickly end up at *Frituur Poater* and *Markt 19*. Check it out for yourself!

## Next level

Honestly, you're more likely to click on [frietmoment.be](https://frietmoment.be/) than on frietketel.htonline.be, right? Such a domain name is an online identity that shows what you stand for: professionalism.

## info@yourdomain.be ✉️

Having your own domain name often goes hand in hand with having your own email address. This also looks much more professional than *lekkerefrietjes@gmail.com* or *janmetdepet9@hotmail.com*. The latter two say so little about your business, while every email you send from your domain is advertising for your shop. It sticks, and that's what you want, isn't it?

## A sense of trust

Believe it or not, customers do attach some value to a domain name. It creates expectations, and it's your job to fulfill them. On schoenen.be, every visitor hopes to find nice sneakers or soft slippers, while on vakantieveilingen.be, you want to score a beautiful trip. On frietjesvandefrituur.be, a visitor wants to order a pack of fries...

## BUT...

Don't forget that with your own website, you're on your own. For a few euros, you might have a domain name, but no webshop yet. If you still need to hire an IT specialist or a digital marketer, that will cost you a lot of money. 

*On the other hand,*[*Unipage*](https://unipage.be/en)*has everything you need to launch your webshop in no time. And if there are any issues, customer support is ready to assist immediately. What more could you ask for?*
