Software to check for available domain addresses
« on: October 23, 2006, 09:45 AM »
The latest offering on Bits du jour made me aware of a software category I didn't even know existed.  Apparently, there are software out there that will check to see if certain domain names are available (in case you wanted to make your own website).  Also, they will help you pick a name depending on words you wish to include.  Pretty cool!  I know one time I wanted to see what was available and I started typing things in one by one...it was kind of annoying.  Anyone ever used one of these?  The ones that I've seen so far (just by a quick google) are:

Available Domains Pro

Domain Name Analyzer Professional

Neville Franks, Clibu a better way to collect, use, manage and share information across all devices.
