When starting a YouTube channel, is it best to register it?

As in registering a company (Sole Proprietorship)?

I am wondering if I should also get a WWW domain name?

Or is it better to wait until I'm bigger and decide then?

Thanks in advance guys/gals

I say if you are serious about monetizing at some point then do it now. It may not be necessary but i think it could help you out mentally as you have to think about server costs and taking content creation seriously. Or you could do a few first and see how you like it before you take the plunge.

OS 360, Thanks a bunch for sharing.

Could you explain about "server costs"?
I did not know this would be something I had to pay for when doing YT videos.

@drpeppercan: If you're creating video content you will inevitably have massive amounts of raw footage that needs to be stored somewhere.

As far as registering your own company that's more of a tax question. That's better to determine what your local government tax requirements for an entrepreneur or small business is.

If you do decide to register a domain name and make a website there's a couple of other things to consider. There's also yearly domain registration costs and monthly website server fees for when you do have an accessible website.
