Never cross in my mind that making my own website with my own domain is very easy, two important things I think most important for start up are :

1. Domain name

2. Hosting

Domain name is our identity in the internet, I believe in the future company who looking for employee will trust search engine than CV that user made. By typing ‘rasyid.net’ or ‘alamsyah rasyid’ in google they can find, study or even make little research about me. I hope search engine give good result about me

My experience with domain is from 1999 when its rare to find vendor that provide register domain, such network solution. Local registrar in Indonesia not available and we must use boss credit card to buy domain.

Now, its easy to find local registrar in every country. For example paylessdomain, they specialized in domain service.

The domain interface is easy to use.
