Finding the perfect gift can be a frustrating
experience. Now, with The Gift of Name, a Miami-based Internet startup
in the hot new area of domain names, you can "give a dot
com," a gift as unique and personal as your own name.
At GiftofName.com, recently featured on NBC's Today
Show with Matt Lauer, you can access quick and secure domain name
registration and confirm your choice in minutes. With the
patent-pending Multi-Check technology, the company can institute a
check for multiple names with one search, speed the registration
process and insure that customers get the best names available.
You can type in any name you choose and register it
under a dot com as a gift for anyone. For example, MattLauer.com,
WalterCronkite.com and DewayneTheRockJohnson.com were all registered
at GiftofName.com.
Gift of Name creator Barry Fellman says he wanted to
come up with a concept that would embrace a new medium for
storytelling and transacting business. He says the focus of the
website is to allow people to create their own Internet identities.
"The primary idea behind The Gift of Name is to
make it easy for someone to find you on the Internet by using your own
name," said Fellman, a Miami native and a Palmetto High School
graduate. "This allows people to reach each other and present
themselves easier."
The cost to register a name for two years is $65, with
all fees included, and renewal is available for as long as desired.
After registration, The Gift of Name links you with
referrals to website designers who can help develop your webpage. The
company sends you an Official Dot Com Certificate by e-mail with the
gift recipient's name and there's an optional gold-bordered
certificate on acid-free parchment available, one suitable for
framing.
Fellman says individuality is a very important topic
today because of the millions of people interacting with electronic
media.
"As we move into the electronic age, the Internet
will grow bigger with millions of websites," he said. "I
hope to provide people with the ability to establish and manage their
own identity on the Internet."
