Top 10 Reasons To Give a Domain Name as a Gift

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

Who else wants unique gift ideas for the special event?

Our favorite gift idea, if the Someone You Love does not already have one, is a domain name.

Here are some reasons why it is a good idea:

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.
Save a tie! Your dad will be ecstatic when he doesn’t see that rectangular box under the tree.
Save a tree — you don’t have to wrap it!
Give someone the secret identity they’ve always wanted.
No matter how hard he tries, the Grinch can’t steal a domain name.
You won’t shoot your eye out with it!
It can be passed down from generation to generation like a fruitcake.
You can buy it at 11:59 p.m, the day before the special day and still have it in time.

Owning a domain only gives you the rights to the name, e.g., johnandmary.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.

More Gifts Ideas

But should you really need to use the domain name for a website, e-mail, and so on, you should have the domain hosted. Owning 1 without hosting it is referred to 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 intangible that you may want something solid to go along with it. And the obvious option might be a set of gorgeous business cards with the new domain details on them. VistaPrint will print 250 business cards in color for 20 dollars (or totally free for new clients, with a under $10 shipping-handling fee).

Best Companies to Use

You will discover about 92 gazillion sites that let you register domain names, and a further 70 gazillion that may host that name for you. And there is plenty of overlap. There is a huge number of of sites that will help you find a hosting company; check out Web Hosting Comparison and Multi Domain Hosting.

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

Why Hostgator is Second to None

If you ask experienced Webmasters about which company you should use, 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 web designers? 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 amazing phone and email support.

Moreover, they have ultra-long 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? Regardless of their one month penny trial, 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 Powweb 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.
