How inventive will gift-givers be?
Stuck for a gift idea?
DotComsForChristmas has come up with the perfect Christmas gift for anyone with access to a computer: a unique domain name, website and e-mail facility, all for under £25.
What’s more you can choose any domain name that you like, as long as someone hasn’t got there before you, and it is less than 65 letters. Just let your imagination run riot. You could treat the boss to BigFatLazyToad.com, or the missus/hubby to IncrediblySexyAndNotAtAllPastIt.com. Let the kids build their own website at NoGrownUpsAllowed.com, or treat the neighbours to StopPokingYourNoseIn.com.
Full instructions are on the DotComsForChristmas.com website. You can print off a presentation certificate to hand over to the lucky recipient and website building tools are included in the package, making a festive dotcom an educational as well as entertaining gift. The e-mail address facility (eg. barry@ExtremelyNiceBloke.com) is accessible from any location via the internet.
DotComsForChristmas.com is now open for business and, says founder Andy Brown, will appeal to all sorts of present givers: “We think people will be buying funny or personal names for their friends and partners, something sensible for the grandparent they are
trying to encourage to take up computing, and outrageous domain names for their colleagues. We are looking forward to seeing just how inventive gift-givers can be.”
