What to Get For The Richest Man?

What to get for the world’s richest man as a Christmas present? To a man who could buy a country or almost any company without extra cough? How about an individual domain name?

There’s plentiful of domain brokers and -sellers on the Web. With appraisal from a right company, holding a domain name is like having a worthy stock with a price tag on it. Most priced ones are sold for millions of dollars. Domain values will most likely only go up since great free dot coms are dying breed and speculators are trying to obtain massive libraries.

Some countries have restrictions on who can own their country domain names, but even China has opened their domains to the outside world. And that is the beauty of free market world in which China is adjusting into. Chinese government however does hold veto on certain domains in case they just decide to require it for a reason or an other. Still -cn ending domains are moving fast and total demand for names continues to grow. According to VeriSign, domain name registrations now number more than 105 million, having grown 27% year over year. Looking to register 2 or 3 letter coms is waste of time since they are all sold.

For those who plan to make a personalized domain a gift this season, here are few hints: If a friend has a gambling habit, HitMeWith should be a warming present. Lawyers surely would appreciate SoSueHim- or SoSueHer domains and most drinking buddies would love to have FreeRum. Any of the past Bond actors should be delighted with Ex-007 where city people should get a laugh out of HolySmog and religious alcohol company workers could use YourSpirits.Com.

If you happen personally to know the richest man in the world, instead of getting him one more lousy Mercedes or Bugatti person could always think of getting him BillGatesMS domain. Perhaps adding a website with digitally altered pictures of Bill and Santa together with some of the best Bill quotes like;

"Domains have and will continue to go up in value faster than any other commodity ever known to man."

Whether you believe him or not, this Christmas instead of giving just soft packages, maybe getting him or her that special domain would do the job of spreading joy. After all, who knows what that dot com is going to be worth the next Christmas.
