The world’s largest domain registrar is now offering gift cards that can be exchanged for domain names and other products.
Earlier this year I was on a mission to find a domain registrar that offered gift certificates. I was starting a promotion for Domain Name Wire readers in which I’d offer free domain registrations.
I hit a number of deadends. The only registrar I found offering gift certificates charged close to $20 per domain registration. I realized that giving someone the gift of a domain — a domain they could choose — would be cool but almost impossible to do without a gift certificate. In fact, I even registered the domain name DomainNameGiftCertificates.com back in May.
Now GoDaddy has filled the void with gift certificates good for purchasing domain registrations, e-mail services, etc. You can have your gift certificate emailed for no charge or sent via postal mail for $5.99 each. Certificates are available for any amount with a minimum of $2.
