Domain name now costs much cheaper
NamaDomain.com,
JAKARTA (IO) ?It's good news for those wanting to set up a new website
simply, easily and cheaply. By spending only around than US$8, they will
be entitled to one domain name.
Namadomain.com, a registration service website which was officially
launched in Jakarta on June 22 by PT DotCom Indonesia, offers Internet
businessmen or individuals to pay only Rp80,000 for registration fee once
a year. The cost is much cheaper than the registration fee in the United
States, where it is charged between US$15 and US$35 per year.
This is part of our promotion programs. We offer the cheap price for 500
first registered individuals or companies,?Calvin Lukmantara, PT DotCom
Indonesia chief executive officer, told a press conference last Thursday.
Apart from the cheap registration service, he said members of his
Namadomain will be provided with ree welcome page?and free email?
Calvin said the competitive price is expected to encourage every company
or individual in Indonesia to have his or her own website, adding that
Namadomain serves the registration only for open domains (com, net and
org). He said Namadomain was the first website in Indonesia to focus on
registering names of domains.
To register the domain name with Namadomain is easy, quick and
automatic. Prospective members can pay to Bank Bali in real-time through
its e-commerce secured online system. Canvin said his company expects at
least 4,000 websites operating in Indonesia to register this year as the
Internet business is booming despite the country long-lasting economic
crisis.
About 17 million names of domains have been registered across the world
with the dotcom domain topping the registration, according to the latest
data from DotCom Indonesia. Dotcom is the most popular domain [in the
word],?Calvin said, adding that said almost 9.5 million websites were
registered with dotcom domain.
A name of domain is no longer merely an address in the Internet. It can
now earns money if considered a good or branded name. It is even valued at
millions of dollars when businessmen make it on sale at domestic and
international secondary markets.
For an example, Business.com and Korea.com were the most expensive domain
names, costing at US$7.5 million and US$5 million respectively at national
international secondary markets. The other eight costly domain names were
Altavista.com, Loans.com, Autos.com, Wallstreet.com, Rock.com,
University.com, Drugs.com, and Computer.com.
At Indonesia secondary markets, Indomall,com was the most expensive
domain name. It was sold at US$20,000 by its owner in the North Sumatra
capital of Medan to a buyer in Jakarta.
CoolBabies.com and NeoServer.com were bought respectively at US$10,000 to
a user in the United States by an owner in Jakarta.
Indonesians have been advised to create new domain names as soon as
possible if they want to focus their business on the Internet. According
to Calvin, there were still only about 5,000 single words which could be
made good names?for their domains in Indonesia. his [finding] is based
on my research on good domain names for several years, he said.
