Don’t Miss Out: Secure Your Baby’s Name on The Web
By Jack Sterling | November 9, 2007
Let’s face it: We live in the Internet Age. Using the Web is second nature to most school aged children today. Computers and the Web will continue to grow to be an integral part of the lives of people more and more. This is why I believe that it makes sense to try to secure a child’s name as a domain name on the Internet Here is a new report supporting that notion and the trend that is ensuing.
I believe that it is important for parents to at least try not only to secure their own .com names, but the names of their children as well. What can you do with this? When a child is just a baby, one can simply park it until ready to use it for something practical. Parking means a simple Web page will come up to let the world know this domain name is taken. Parking is typically a free service.
However, what I have done is use the domain name for a private photo journal for friends and family featuring pictures of my child over the course of their childhood. Software to do this is generally inexpensive and sometimes free from whomever you buy your domain name.
The real value will come when your child reaches college age and beyond, when he or she will be able to benefit from a professional presence on the Web for hosting a blog, one’s resume, curriculum vitae, and who knows what may come to be. I used this firm - they make it easy and inexpensive - and their customer service is great:
To secure your child’s .com name would be most judicious indeed.
