Teen Entrepreneur Offers Cyber-Gifts for Every Occasion

A 15-year-old high school sophomore has launched a unique web site, www.birthdaydomains.com, that offers personal web domains as cyber-gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, confirmations, bar mitzvahs, graduations, Mother's Day, and any other special occasion

The brainchild of a computer-savvy teen, http://www.BirthdayDomains.com makes owning and giving a web site domain fast, inexpensive and easy.

Fifteen-year-old Andrew Levine of Chappaqua, New York, a sophomore at Horace Greeley High School, wanted to think up a novel birthday gift for his friend, Peter. He came up with the idea of a personal web domain, or Place in Cyberspace," where Peter could post whatever he wanted on the World Wide Web. He thought this would be a unique gift that would make a lasting impression on another teenager. Andrew soon realized that other people he knew, of all ages, would like to give and receive gifts like this for weddings, bar mitzvahs, confirmations, baby births, graduations, teacher gifts, holidays and anniversaries.

To make the gift of a personal web domain easy, practical and affordable, Andrew created http://www.BirthdayDomains.com. And he made the site easy enough even for a grandparent to navigate and use! While Andrews programming skills are self-taught, he turned to his parents for business and marketing support. This is the first time in a long time weve spent so many hours working together at a clip," he said.

A web domain is a personal space on the internet that can be accessed by anyone, from any place in the world, at any time. It comes with a distinctive address, like www.yourname.com/ Giving a friend, family or business associate a personal web domain with their own address, a special Place in Cyberspace," is a way to be remembered for sending a gift that will bring pleasure and rewards for years to come. Its like buying them a home in cyberspace with their name right on the front door.

Because of the growing popularity of internet domains, if people dont lock in the address they want today, someone else may beat them to it. For a $25 flat fee, Levines BirthdayDomains.com package offers:

-A registered personalized domain name of their choice
-Space on the web for the site,
-Access to easy tools to customize the site, and
-A personalized email certificate announcing the gift

Andrew is available for press interviews, but only after he finishes his homework," says his mom, Dr. Irene Levine, a psychologist and freelance medical writer.
