TOP LINE CREDIT : This entire idea came as a result of training I received from Jennifer Bagley (http://www.complimentsinternational.com/). Jennifer is an exceptional trainer and consultant. I highly recommend getting to know her.
OK, here's what I learned. Remember the first time you learned of Twitter? Facebook? Only been a few years, right? Well, look around. They are becoming commercial engines and it has happened nearly overnight. Given the geometric expansion of technology one must assume that our children and grandchildren will have their entire identities online. Good, bad, or indifferent they will identify and be identified with and on the internet. So their name in the internet domain name world will be important.
WHERE IS THAT LEADING?
Instead of getting a U.S. Savings Bond for that new baby buy them a domain name. Ensure they have the best name possible. Unfortunately for me williamschubert.com was long gone. But both of my grandchildren have unique domain names with the .com ending (I'm not going to say, they'll have to tell you themselves).
AND HOW?
So go to your favorite domain name registration site. I think godaddy.com is the least expensive (and there is NO reason to pay more than the cheapest.. for this you are doing nothing but registering a name and isn't Danica Patrick cute). Put in the name your want, such as williamschubert. The .com ending is still the best to have. If that is no longer available I'd say .org but there are a lot of other choices. Go through the registration process. Costs less than $11 per year but you have to pay every year to keep control of the name so be sure your contact information is good. If you stop paying it releases the name so that anyone can get it.
So be the perfect grandparent and get them a domain name. Hey, as long as you're at it throw in that Savings Bond too.
