How To Check the Availability of Domain Names

1. InstantDomainSearch.com

Domain Search by InstantDomainSearch.com

Some of Instant Domain Search features:
• Suggestions - click and takes you to GoDaddy.com where you’ll see ‘More Options’ of alternative domains you may like.
• Acquire Domain - links to Sedo.com, a Domain Acquisition Service
• WhoIs - select this option takes you to http://whois.domaintools.com to learn more about the ownership of the domain
• Hacks - goes to Xona.com which will give you unconventional domain combinations (i.e. delicious.com to del.icio.us)
Alexa - which will talk about the site’s web traffic rank
• Visit Site

I’ve been using InstantDomainSearch.com for years.

2. Domize.com

Domain Search by Domize

3. AjaxWhois.com

Domain Search by AjaxWhois

Some of AjaxWhoIs features:
• Ability to preselect your preferred extensions (.com, .net, etc.) for your domain search
• Also partners with GoDaddy.com and even includes GoDaddy coupons
• Whois - without leaving the site will display the domain’s ownership information with a bit of added security to make sure you’re human wanting the information (thanks AjaxWhoIs) for not promoting spambots!
• Domain hacks will appear on right-hand column if a combination exists
Statsaholic - which uses Compete and Quantcast traffic data
• Go to website link
