During holidays, visiting relatives and friends is a must. Of course, gifts are indispensable. But have you ever heard of "domain names" being given as gifts?
According to our reporter "One Trick Pony": With the growing popularity and development of the Internet in China, domain names, known as "Internet real estate," are increasingly being viewed favorably by more and more people. They have become another cultural investment hotspot following stocks, funds, and insurance. Any friend who has experience building websites or engaging in online entrepreneurship knows that every day, tens of thousands of domain name investors actively operate and manage on Domain City, which is currently the world's largest domain name investment center...
Recently, many domain name investors (also called "ricers") have reported:
More and more buyers are purchasing domain names not solely for investment or website construction, but as advance preparation or reservation for their children, relatives, or girlfriends. Undoubtedly, the price of good domain names will continue to rise. Buyers recognize the current price advantage and trend of domain names. Therefore, the annual renewal fee of dozens of yuan can be completely disregarded compared to the value and appreciation potential of the domain name itself.
From my personal domain sales situation, this phenomenon is indeed gaining increasing recognition and imitation. The owner of xianneizhu.com mentioned that many who want to buy this domain directly say it is for their wife, girlfriend, or secretary.

Indeed, it's extremely difficult for men to start a business without the support of a "virtuous helper." As an entrepreneur, I deeply agree with this sentiment. Of course, this might also be influenced by the recent popularity of the South Korean drama "The Queen's Helper" in domestic videos. However, regardless of the reason, it doesn't matter. The key point is that more and more people are viewing domain names as essential "Internet land" and treating them with importance.
The new trend of "gifting domain names" should naturally be encouraged and promoted. This not only promotes the prosperity and development of the Internet but also provides domain name investors with new sales methods and channels. However, as a domain name investment enthusiast, I would like to offer a word of caution, especially for those who "buy domain names just to surprise or make their girlfriends happy":
Whatever you do, always remain calm. You must ensure that your girlfriend understands and has a need for the Internet before making a purchase. Otherwise, a domain name costing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan may not be as practical as a bouquet of flowers or a "corn cob." Such purchases not only waste your money but also increase the financial pressure and opportunity cost for friends who genuinely need the domain name to build a website.
Finally, one crucial point to remember: When buying a domain name from a domain investor, never tell the seller what you intend to use the domain name for, especially if it's for a lover or girlfriend. Products related to children and women generally "cost a lot," and this is common knowledge.
