Why don't you buy a domain, it is very cheap, less than $1.5

Sure, you could try Globat, Host Monster, or Go Daddy for a top level domain.

I agree with pcwork and Newbie Shield. Your best bet is to buy a domain. They are both cheap and reliable these days.

To your success,

Hi Viraj86,

I agree with those who suggest you should get your own domain.
Even though there are ways to get traffic to a subdomain, you'll
always be handicapped in your efforts to attract high quality traffic.

Invest in a domain of your own. It'll give you much more marketing
and promotional flexibility, and you wouldn't regret it!

You should definitely buy a domain of your own...It's not that expensive at certain registers.

I agree with the others who suggest that you should purchase your own domain. You don't need to miss out on the traffic you have already created. Keep your existing subdomain for a while and do redirects.

Transfer your articles over to your new domain and then redirect the traffic on a page by page basis.

The easiest way to do that is with a htaccess 301 redirect. However, you likely don't have access to the correct files to do that. Still there are additional ways to do redirects using php etc.

You don't have to lose out on everything you have done already.

I would like review about the program you are promoting and try to make it rank high for the search engine to pick it up.

Good Luck.
