How to Find the Perfect Unregistered Domain Name
I stumbled across this brilliant site about a month ago, and have been telling anyone who'll listen how awesome it is.
It's called PickyDomains.com.
It's awesome because for $50 it helps you find an unregistered domain name that fits your criteria. So if you want to find a domain that's max 10 characters long, letters only (no numbers, dashes, or other punctuation), and describes a social network for goldfish, they'll be able to help you. Here's how it works.
1. Create an account, pay $50, and provide description of the domain name you're looking for.
2. This is sent to the PickyDomains contributors.
3. Let the domain names roll in.
4. Pick one.
That's it! When you register one, $25 goes to the domain namer, and $25 goes to Picky Domains.
And the best part--if you don't register one, you get your money back! Freaking risk-free!
I'm taking advantage of their "plug us on your blog, get a free name once" service, but the real reason I'm plugging Picky Domains is because it's a really smart, well-executed, and valuable service. Heartily recommended!

While I like what I wound up choosing last week, it took me forever to find it. I'm sure I'll test this soon.
I'm one of the people you told about this site. For me, the hardest part of using this site was picking a domain out of the dozens they found for me. I ended up paying a bit extra so I can buy multiple names. (They charge $25 for each additional domain you pick out of the pool they find for you.)
Good news
Thank you for informations.
I hope everybody read this article.
There's also a free tool for finding available domain names at www.domainnamesoup.com
You may want to check out my site before you pay for any domain naming services. I am a professional domainer and offer my finding services for free. If you doubt my ability just click on my "Free Names" and have fun. Many domainers are wiping out my name lists and selling them on Sedo.
Just an update on my last post. domainerdude.com can no longer offer a free domain name finder service. Domainers were coming in and wiping out all the names I had listed. I have decided to make it a service for a fee of $25.00. I wish I could keep it free, but I figure the small fee is still well worth it.
