Top 10 Reasons To Give a Domain Name as a Gift

admin — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 03:55:43 +0000

Who else wants some unusual gift ideas for the new year for a special event?

Are you looking for something inexpensive, personal, and can be pretty useful? Give a domain name.

Here are the top ten reasons to give a domain name as a present:

No assembly required. No instructions in Chinese to fumble through.
It is easier to find a good domain name than an iPhone 5.
It’s hypoallergenic.
It can make money.
Save a tree — you don’t have to wrap it!
Give someone the secret identity they’ve always wanted.
More personalized than a custom t-shirt.
Totally unique. Nobody else can give the same thing (name).
It can be passed down from generation to generation like a good family business.
You can buy it at 11:59pm before the special day and still have it in time.

Owning a domain only gives you the rights to the name, e.g., jamesandmary.com. It is like a declaration that the name is yours. You can go to any of the web domain registration companies such as Godaddy or Namecheap to purchase a domain name.

Making it a Better Gift

But should you essentially want to use the domain name for a web site, email, etc., you have to have the domain hosted. Owning one with no hosting it is known as “parking” the domain. Less than $10 a month gets you hosting for that domain. We have been using Hostgator for more than 8 years and it has been the best one out of 30+ hosting companies that we have tried. So bottom line, $120 (or less) buys a hosted domain for a year.

A domain is so “virtual” that you may want something solid to go along with it. As well as the obvious choice might be a set of spanking business cards using the new domain details on them. VistaPrint will print 250 business cards in color for 20 bucks (or totally free for new customers, with a sub-$10 shipping-handling charge).

Recommended Sites to Use

There are about 70 gazillion web sites that let you register domain names, and yet another 30 gazillion that may host that name for you. And there is a lot of overlap. There are also plenty of sites that will help you find a hosting company; check out Web Hosting Comparison and best hosting services.

If you do not have the time to research for the best domain registration company or web hosting, then here is our recommendations:

Best Domain Registrar:

Netfirms for the cheapest .COM domain registration
Godaddy for cheap $1.99 .INFO domains

Best Domain Hosting:

Why Hostgator is Second to None

Do you know which web hosting is being used by most web designers? 8 out of 10 of them would recommend Hostgator. Hostgator is currently hosting more than 7 million websites and the number is growing. Why are they highly recommended by website experts? They have customer support second to none. Their live chat is available 24/7 for not only sales related questions but also for billing and technical support, that is on top of their excellent phone and email support.

Moreover, they have longer-than-average money back guarantee of 45 days. They also let you try their full-feature “unlimited” hosting for a penny. Yes, for only $0.01 for the first month. Do you know any other company that can give you that kind of assurance and guarantee? Penny 1-month deal aside, the 50% discount is the best deal we have heard from them so far.

They are also rated A+ by Better Business Bureau, so you know they are serious about their customers. They also offer other plans such as VPS and dedicated hosting if you need to upgrade in the future. Avoid one-plan hosting such as Fatcow or Webhostingpad as they are meant for small hobby sites and they will kick you out very fast if you start to get visitors. You may be tempted by a Fatcow review you read on the web, but do not fall for it.
