Choose with confidence
Use your name for a personal journal, or a memorable publication name for a specialist blog. An address dedicated to the publication makes sense when its audience and purpose are distinct from your main business website.
A very narrow topic can become limiting as your writing develops. Consider whether the name will still fit new categories, contributors or a newsletter. Keep it easy to spell when readers hear it in a conversation or podcast.
The domain is your address; your publishing platform supplies the website. You can connect it to compatible hosting or a service that supports custom domains. Check that service’s plan requirements before choosing where to publish.
