I truly thought it would be more common to own your own domain name today (I bought axbom.com in 1997).
But I do realise it’s still too difficult for most people to wrap their head around a domain name and how to get started.
I wrote this post a couple of years ago but I’m thinking now I should write more of a short primer specifically on why and how you should own a domain.
