Free Domain vs Custom

5 replies
Is there a difference? Say you were building a website in hopes of selling it to a business one day, could you hypothetically rank a free domain as easily as a custom one and then when they want to buy it, you buy one for them or let them pick one? Are there any differences in the way Google handles them? Thanks!

    That doesn't make any sense ... you rank a free one and then buy them a brand new unranked domain? Buy a domain and rank it and sell it along with a site.

      How do you avoid them not liking the domain you picked in that case?

        Well generally, I'm pretty good at picking good domains but this isn't my business model, but it's just common sense that you have to rank the domain that will be sold.

      Correct. The domain should be part of the ranking strategy and selling or renting your site.

    Free domains are only good to use when your are using an affiliate program. If you plan to create a business you should always purchase a domain. Use godaddy and get a cheap one.
