Why Personalised Online Photo Album and a Domain Name Can Be a Great Last Minute Gift

December 14th, 2011 No comments

Who else wants unique last-minute gift ideas for that special someone?

Our favorite gift idea, if the Someone You Love does not already have one, starts with a domain name. From there, you can make it into a web photo gallery, beautiful custom website, personalized email address and much more. It can be a great gift by itself or can be combined with a turnkey photo gallery to become the best surprise gift.

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

  1. It is easier to find a good domain name than an iPhone 5.
  2. It’s certainly hypoallergenic.
  3. No assembly required and no instructions in foreign languages to fumble through.
  4. Save a tree — you don’t have to wrap it!
  5. No chance of receiver getting the same gift (domain) from somebody else.
  6. Give someone the secret identity they’ve always wanted.
  7. Domains are cheap; you can register one for a year for as little as $6.95
  8. You won’t shoot your eye out with it!
  9. It can be passed down from generation to generation like a great framed portrait.
  10. You can buy it at 11:59pm on the day before the birthday, wedding, anniversary or any 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 for those who basically want to use the domain name for a web site, email, and so on, you have to have the domain hosted. Owning 1 without hosting it can be 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.

Now once you have a domain hosted, you can create a memorable website based on the templates given at the hosting company. You can also get an online photo album for the domain. You can even help that special someone to have an online photography portfolio. But you need to get the right hosting service. See the next section about how to choose a good host.

A domain is so “cyber” that you may want something solid to go together with it. And also the apparent choice could possibly be a set of beautiful business cards with the new domain particulars on them. VistaPrint will print 250 business cards in color for 20 dollars (or no cost for new buyers, with a nominal $10 shipping-handling fee).

Best Places to Buy

You will notice about 70 gazillion web sites that let you register domain names, and yet another 30 gazillion that will host that name for you. And there is a lot of overlap. There is a huge number of of sites that will help you find a hosting company; check out Cheap Web Hosts and Multiple 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:

Best Domain Registrar:

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

Best Domain Hosting:

  • Hostgator for most comprehensive DIY hosting including Sitebuilders with 4000+ unique templates, one-click-installer for lots of web applications, shopping cart, forum, and much more. You can easily install the photo gallery application such as 4images, Coppermine, and Piwigo or choose a more popular platform such as WordPress, Joomla or Drupal to create an online photo gallery.

  • Weebly for simple website builder with beautiful templates. Nothing fancy but straightforward easy-to-use website creation tool. Click here to try for free.

The longer you wait, the higher the chances you will lose the name you want.
Go to Godaddy, Netfirms or Namecheap to purchase a domain name now.
