One of the hardest thing that you need to do when starting a new online business, a blog or a website is finding a catchy dot com name that is both meaningful and easy to remember. With all the short names being taken nowadays, most new websites have settled in using other domain extensions (.net, .org, .biz, .me) or taking the “meaningful” out of the equation. They just go with “easy to remember” and build the brand around the chosen dot com name.

This can give you an insight to the popularity of the name. The context it can be found in can be easily examined by clicking on a quick Google search link.

Domainr: Get Creative with Domain Names

Dot com domains are nearly out. The short ones are all taken and all that’s left are sentence long dot com domains. You have to invent your own word if you really do want a dot com or come up with gibberish combination of texts. If you are willing to explore beyond the dot com, you better check out Domainr.

Domainr is inspired by jish.nu, burri.to and del.icio.us domains. It helps you explore other domain name opportunities which will fit your brand by giving suggestions using other domain extensions. If the word that you are looking for does not fit any extension, it will suggest a folder name along with a trimmed down version of you word. In other words it creates a creative opportunity for domain buyers, especially those who are well branded.

Domainr is a very simple service. All you need to do is type in your desired domain name. A green mark will appear if it is available. If you are seriously looking for a domain name to fit your brand or just want to have a little fun with domain names, Domainr is a great alternative to your usual domain search engine.

Also check out Domize. It displays available domains as you type.

Search Available Domains Faster Using Domize

We all know that searching of an available domain name can be such a pain. Typing a name at a time and hoping that the search will return a “this domain is available.” It can be very time consuming and frustrating at the same time.

Domize is a domain name search engine that lets you search domain names faster and gives quick results of available and unavailable domains. The engine is very easy to use and is secured over SSL. Like most domain search tools out there, all you have to do is type in the domain name that you want to search. Then it gets interesting. With every character that you type, the engine will show a result of the availability of your domain for every letter that you add. This will give you additional information and a greater possibility of finding a shorter domain name.

After each search, a snapshot preview of the available domains can be accessed easily. Just hover your mouse cursor over the red colored text (red means taken and blue means available), and a snapshot window will popup. If you did not find what you are looking for, you can edit the text in the Domize search bar and the results will change as you add or remove a letter or character to your domain name. This will save you a lot of time while playing around with ideas for a domain name.

Thousands of domain names are being registered everyday. Finding an available name gets even harder with conventional domain search tools. Using Domize as a tool for finding a domain name will certainly give you an edge and save you a lot of time.
