Help me buy a domain name (inspired by Kickstarter)
- Udo 14y agoHi Samrat, I'm a little confused: is it really true that you can't make any online payments from Nepal? If you have got a credit card, you could always just give another country of residence when you're filling out a payment form if that's a problem. Also, don't you need webspace, too? Or could you rent that in your own country? Tell us a little more about your problem!
- FEBlog 14y agoI love the hacker community, problem sorted in hours. You're great Udo! Samrat, if you have a problem in a year, drop me a note and I will help you out, taking over the baton in this relay race! Per
- samrat 14y agoI'm using Github Pages to host my site, so web space is not a problem. Regarding the online payment, a card from a bank in Nepal would not be able to purchase anything online. Of course a credit card from a bank in another country would work in Nepal, but I don't possess one.
- Udo 14y agoOh, wow. OK. Tell you what: I can open a DynaDot account in your name, prepay your domain for a year and then hand it over to you. That should work. Also, DynaDot are cheap and they do offer a lot of different payment options you might be able to use next year when you have to renew. Does that sound like a plan?
- samrat 14y agoThat'd be awesome. How do we go about this? Should I email you?
- Udo 14y agoMy email address is on my HN profile page. You let me know what the domain name is and I'll open the account for you. When it's done, I send you the login credentials and from then on it's all yours. :-)
