Finding Domain Names

If you are stumped in your efforts to find a domain name, here are some free tools to help you find the right domain name for your web site endeavor.

When you enter a domain name into the box at GoDaddy,

the results page will show you more alternatives to your chosen name, whether or not it is available. You can continue mining this resource by entering similar names. The status of the domain names the search displays will always be “available.”

These domain name alternatives at GoDaddy are supplied by a service called DomainsBot. If you want to expand your search alternatives, use them to find the name you want. They offer direct transfers to affiliate partners to get your name registered, but avoid this for now, and just make a note of the name you want.

Here’s why. The Web Host you chose may offer a free domain with your web hosting purchase.

Some additional free resources for searching for domain names are

• Nameboy - but just use the search or you’ll pay too much!
• DotCenter - recently expired domain name search site.

When you’ve found the name you want, and made sure you don’t have a free domain name credit at your web host, return to GoDaddy.

And get the best deal on your domain name purchase.
