Domain Name Research Tool

August 12, 2007Stephen Ward

Building a website involves a lot of preliminary work. Before you begin, you need a goal, a strategy for how the website will achieve that goal, and an understanding of the hurtles it will need to jump to get there. Choosing the right domain name is important to each of these steps. Will the site need to rank well in organic search? Will users need to remember the domain name? Will they need to type it in? Is your domain name of choice already taken by potential competitors? These are just a few questions to consider when performing domain name research.

Of course, brainstorming domain names and performing manual whois lookups can be frustrating and eat up valuable time. Instead of doing everything by hand, just head over to Bust a Name and plug in the keywords you’re considering for your domain. The tool will automatically combine keywords with root-level domains and check their availability. It’s a great way to save your time for other important activities, like design and deployment. ;)
