Glad to see other people find this useful. If you have any suggestions for good tools I'm missing please let me know.


I have a suggestion:

Have a description of each tool and a "Best of" list. I don't want 50 domain tools. I want to know the 5 best ones.


Thanks, this is a good suggestion and something I've been thinking about lately as the number of sites listed has increased.

Do you think a description of each tool is necessary or just the "Best of" list?


Yeah, great resource Jasber -- I think you linked to it on another thread, but wanted to share it for everyone. For things like this I know I get stuck using the same tools over and over, and while they may work, it is nice to have a listing like this so I can check-out anything new/unknown that might make it easier or give better results.


The iWantMyName DomainApp for iPhone would be another good tool for your list: http://iwantmyname.com/iphone


Outstanding resource - most of the projects that I've built over the years I've found the domain names from JustDropped.com (and in the past deleteddomains.com) - but there are some excellent tools here


I just found Bust a Name recently and it has quickly become my favorite...

http://www.bustaname.com/

(edit: I just noticed you already have that on your list)


I have often gone to http://www.morewords.com/ to search for dictionary words that end in a TLD I'm looking at, or contain buzz words I want in a domain.


Nice resource, thanks! You should also add iwantmyname.com, a good resource with excellent internationalization support...


Thanks for the recommendation. I've added them to the list.


I used them when I bought a minified url for my site using the Haiti TLD. Seriously they have good reach ;)
