Problems Finding a Domain Name? Use “Bust A Name”

This article was written on July 09, 2007 by CyberNet.

I know I’ve run into problems trying to find a domain name in the past, and if you have your own website, you may have had this problem as well. After brainstorming and coming up with a name, you go to check if it’s available and of course it’s not. Then it’s back to the drawing board to try and find another name. If you’re having problems finding a domain name, try using Bust A Name. Bust A Name helps solve your problem of picking a domain name, and one that’s available.

The whole process is revolved around the keywords that you enter. I wanted to put the service to the test, so I entered a few random words. Once I entered my words, it combined them to offer me available domains. They also offered alternative words that I could use that were similar to the words that I had entered.

Once you select the domain that you like, you can purchase it. They offer a few different places that you can choose from, along with what the price will be. For example, if I chose conceptgoat.com, I could purchase it from GoDaddy for $6.95 or from Omnis for $7.95.

Options

There are a few customization options that will give you additional possible domain names. For example, you could switch to searching for .net or. org domains. You could also add a suffix or prefix like “ly,” “ster,” “let,” or “i,” “e,” or “my.” And if you’re wanting to drop the last vowel like Flickr, or Zooomr, that’s an option too.
