Resource List for Finding Domain Names
A few days ago I posted a question about finding decent, and available domain names, following on from that here is a list of the resources I was offered, from HN & other friends:
* http://www.makewords.com/
* http://dictionary-thesaurus.com/Wordlists.html
* http://www.synonym.com
* http://www.bustaname.com
* http://www.lightsphere.com/dev/web20.html
* http://www.dotomator.com/
Some were more succesfull than others, I've listed them in order of usefulness to me, ymmv.
- paulleviss 18y agoGood Resources
- froo 18y agoUmm, have you thought about the possibility of domains that have, or in the process of expiring? There are often people that have good domain names that just dont utilise them.
- Stubbs 18y agoThe process of trying to get hold of the recently expired domains seems even more frustrating than trying to find a new domain in the first place.
- josefresco 18y agoNot with services like www.pool.com, very easy in fact to get one after it drops.
- petercooper 18y agoI have personally had success with using GoDaddy.com's auction system (but using the "buy it now" variation, rather than bidding). I've scooped up several domain names with high pageranks for under $20 each this way. Takes some research, but it's doable.
- newsmaven 18y agoalso nameboy.com
- Stubbs 18y agoSeems to be covered in error messages.
- mtw 18y agobustaname worked great for me
- Stubbs 18y agoBustaname has worked for me in the past too, but in this case, I was looking for a soccer related domain, and most of the useful domains that contain the word soccer are taken, my domain required a bit of lateral thinking, which is where the wordlists came in.

- DXL 18y agoI've used this tool for a while myself, thought I'd share it: http://dxl.yamm2.com/domeintest.php http://dxl.yamm2.com/domeintest.php
- warwickp 18y agohttp://pickydomains.com http://pickydomains.com -> $50 gets you an (almost) endless supply of pretty good domain name suggestions from a large number of experienced domainers. Your $50 is returned if you don't get any suggestions that you select.
- Stubbs 18y agoMore than once during my search, I wished there was something like this, even to the point where I made a note to think about it as a project for the future!
- froo 18y agoSorry this is an older topic, but thought I'd add some more to this list that I've come across recently for the sake of completeness. http://www.visualthesaurus.com/ http://www.visualthesaurus.com/ - does exactly what it says, useful for playing around with word combos. http://www.tdnam.com/ http://www.tdnam.com/ - expiring domain names and aftermarket, run by Godaddy - can find some good ones on here.
