A: Lots of reasons.

Consistency

Once you have your own domain, your e-mail and website address will never change again. Have you ever experienced a change of phone number or street address and saw what problems that could bring? With your own domain name, you can keep the same web and e-mail addresses, no matter who your service provider is.

People regard you a lot more seriously if you have your own domain. All the big companies in South Africa already have their own domains. Having an e-mail address at one of the hosting companies is okay for personal use, but a company domain gives you much more credibility.

Easy to remember

If I knew your name is John Travolta and you work for ABSA, for example, I would know that your e-mail address is probably jtravolta@absa.co.za. Also, If your company is called gadgets galore, I would guess that your website would be http://www.gadgetsgalore.co.za or http://www.gadgetsgalore.com.

Flexibility

Because you get fleximail accounts when hosting with us on a crest or higher package, you can set up autoresponders to send people information on demand, e-mail forwarding or global mailboxes to enable you to check your mail from anywhere in the world, and more.
