It is very important, especially if your website is a business website, and it is supposed to act as an online aid to your business. Moreover, a URL remains constant over the life of the website, unless you purchase a different domain name, and transfer your site altogether to the new domain. But this involves all the attendant problems of a change in address. You will lose all the traffic that you built up till date, plus you will have to inform your readers and customers about the new web address. Building traffic over the new domain name is also going to take time, not to mention costs.
