Here are the top ten reasons to give a domain name as a present:
It is easier to find a good domain name than an iPhone 5.
It’s hypoallergenic.
No assembly required. (No instructions in foreign languages to fumble through.)
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.

But if you actually choose to use the domain name for a web site, e-mail, and so on, you need to have the domain hosted. Owning one with out hosting it is called “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 techie that you may want something solid to go together with it. Plus the apparent choice could be a set of beautiful business cards with the new domain details on them. VistaPrint will print 250 business cards in color for 20 bucks (or absolutely free for new customers, with a under $10 shipping-handling fee).
