Finding a good Domain Name 2007-04-11 19:46:00 Coming up with a domain name that defines and captures what your website will do is becoming increasingly harder to do. With most of the good one or two word addresses gone now, one needs to really try hard to come up with that one domain that says it all.
The current count of active domains is around 87 Million according to DomainTools.com on 4/11/2007. With that many active domains on the internet, you should begin to understand why creating names with only one word are near impossible to obtain. Unless you make a new word, you probably will not find one you want. Same goes for two word domain names as well, however, being that there are two words make your chances a bit better.
When I think of a new site that I would like to someday build, I immediately hit DiggityHost and begin searching for potential domain names to use. If you have not checked out the domain name search facility, you really should. Let's say you had a good idea for a webs
