Have you ever purchased an Indian domain as a gift for someone? Some people find the gift of a domain name more exciting than flowers, gadgets, clothing, chocolates etc.
An article on mid-day.com showcases how Puneites are buying domain names and customized websites as gifts:
I once thought about buying a .co.uk domain name for one of my brothers, but I knew he wouldn't use it or set up a website on it, so I abandoned the idea!
What about you - have you ever thought about buying a domain name as a gift for someone?
An article on mid-day.com showcases how Puneites are buying domain names and customized websites as gifts:
Abbas Suterwala (25) was surprised when his mother Farida gifted him a domain name on his birthday last month. Farida said that she had had enough of usual gifts. "The charges for a domain name were nominal just Rs 450 for a year and he loved it," she said.
10 per cent rise
Saurabh Jain of Thinking Space Technologies in Vishrant Wadi, said, "Since we set up the firm, we've had no enquiries for gifting websites or domain names. But in the past one year, we've had a few enquiries every couple of months."
It's great to read that people in India are buying domain names as gifts (I think domain gifts are a bit more common in some other countires). With regard to India, I assume it's not just in Pune city that people are buying such gifts.Mumbai-based Shirin Thekedar not only bought a domain name for her sister-in-law, but also designed it. "I'll also help her host it," said Thekedar, who bought the domain name online for $11 (Rs 524) and said hosting costs will amount to about $60 (Rs 2,857) per year.
