Scottsdale, Arizona - (Cheap web Hosting Directory) - July 10, 2007 - Domain registrar and web hosting firm, GoDaddy, has developed a new offering, designed to provide a unique gift for parents, in the form of buying the rights to web site names for newborns of friends, relatives or acquaintances.

Barb Rechterman, Executive Vice President at Go Daddy offered, ”This is a way to give someone an inexpensive gift that will last for the child’s whole lifetime, instead of a toy that winds up in a storage closet after six months. Parents can also buy this type of gift for their own kids. Eventually, the family may be able to make an activity out of creating a web site together, using the baby’s domain name.”

According to the company, more and more, parents are choosing to reserve a web site address created from their children’s name through GoDaddy.com. Registering a child’s place on the Internet is like securing land in an up-and-coming neighborhood before the value increases.

Ms. Rechtermann continued, ”Some people want to ensure they have rights to the name now while it’s available for a reasonable price, rather than waiting for a day when it’s no longer available or the resale price might cost them a lot more.”

A domain name is an educational, practical gift that may help contribute to the child learning about technology, and securing a domain name is becoming more popular every day. Consider this - Go Daddy recently handled the paid registrations of 1 million domains in just one month, an Internet first.

GoDaddy maintains that even if someone isn’t good with computers, they have devised an easy way to register a baby’s domain name at its website, by typing in the name at the ”Start a domain search,” area, located at the top of the web page. The search will show whether the name is available or if you can buy the rights to a similar name.

Go Daddy also offers additional products that people may find useful for a child’s new web site, including a tool called WebSite Tonight, to help create the content of the web site. WebSite Tonight includes templates with family and baby-themed images. A tool called Online Photo Filer lets you share, print and manage your family photos online. Go Daddy also offers email tools to help you communicate with others about your kids online, and you can set up an email account for your baby’s name, too.
