    How can I buy someone a domain if I don't know their name?

    So, I want to buy a domain to give away in a contest. I wish to register the domain ahead of time in order to set up something on it, but of course I don't know who will win so I can't register the domain in their name.

    Regulations prohibit transferring a domain that's less than 60 days old, so I can't just put it in my name and then change the registration info; How can I do this?

      Guess you'd have to wait for 60 days to have your contest.

              Any other ideas? :-/ I'm actually planning to give away a working website, but I don't have any free domains I want to use for it. I need to register a new one.

                  just create a new account at any registrar... and give the winner the user/pass and they can change all the details / personal info. once they win.

                      That's what I was thinking.. but wouldn't the registrar consider that a domain transfer?

                          You are giving it away anyways. I doubt the winner is going to bitch about having to wait a little bit to change the info if it is required.

                              I dont think they'd even notice if it was done.

                                  Most registrars will let you change the account/whois info, or even transfer the name between accounts at that same registrar. The 60-day transfer prohibition is an ICANN rule relating only to transfers between registrars, and is intended to reduce certain types of fraud, particularly non-payment (or reversed-payment) to the initial registrar.

                                          No, they wouldn't.

                                              Its a bit more than that. Nothing to laugh at.

                                              Dagwolf, you can just put the domain in my name since I will probably win it anyways
