Domain Name Resources

August 4, 2009

I love hunting for domains, many times I spend too much time on it but then again, not really if you find good domains it is very similar to investing in real estate. I’ve found a handful of useful resources that help you find a domain name for sale, or even an unregistered domain name. Plus, a friend of mine just purchased an incredible exact match two word poker domain, and he probably bought it at a prime time with the struggling economy… anyway it makes the hunt for good domains fun, and I enjoy the hunt.

Favorite Domain Name Tools

DNForums – domain name forum, hundreds if not thousands of domains are listed for sale every week
Name Pro’s – another domain name forum with tons of domains for sale
Sedo – another domain name sales forum
SnapNames – domain names that are dropping or in auction
NameJet – domain aftermarket
NameBio – see what domains sold for over time.
Godaddys domain auctions – tdnam to those who’ve been around.
Bustaname – finds combos of unregistered domain names available, type in your keywords and it arranges them in all ways possible up to 3 words, plus options like hyphens and more
TLD counts – how many domains are purchased across many different extensions (like .org/.net/.us/.bz/.ca etc etc. (shows from 2009)
