Thanks Larry,

I've read them and was a bit of help, but still I can't find what I want haha. This is not looking good.

Klaas, it might be difficult to find what you might want but it is far from impossible.

I use GoDaddy as my registrar so I am familiar with what they do. Others might also have something like this.

Go to their site Internet Domain Name Registration, Domain Transfers. Your domain name search starts here.

You will see something that says Domain Name Search. You enter the domain you want. It will tell you if it is available or not. But if it isn't available they will give you lots of suggestions, and I do mean lots of them that are available.

I put in mousenose.com just as a test. It wasn't available. But look at just some of what was suggested that is available:

mousenose.net
mousenose.org
mousenose.biz
mousenose.us
mousenose.info
mousenose.ws
mousesnose.com
ratnose.com
mousebeak.com
mousenoseonline.com
mousenosehome.com
mousenosesite.com
mousenoseweb.com
mousenoselive.com
mousenoseblog.com
bestmousenose.com
newmousenose.com
mymousenose.com
themousenose.com
officialmousenose.com

This is just some of them. There are several more listed plus they also have "see other domains like this" which gives you a lot more.

You can do this with any domain name you want. Each time you will be shown a large number of suggested names that are available if what you want isn't. If you do this often enough with enough names it would be very difficult not to find something that you like.

Now this is something I can work with, thanks, let's hope I will find a nice one! I will let you guys know!

Here's a hot tip Klaas...

I own 5starHotelSearch.com which is a really good one. Too bad it's just sitting there and I've done nothing with it. I have lots of good ones like that, but no time.

Anyway I used to own several other 5 star travel related domains and when I was searching found lots of combinations. I think I had 5starResortHotels.com and some other good ones I sold in a bundle to some guys that had a bunch of other 5 Star domains.

So try 5 Star in front of a bunch of different KW combos and I think you can find a good one.

The other thing in the past I've had good luck with is to put 4 in front of KW. 4besttraveldeals etc.

(NOW aren't you glad I made you post this in public and didnt answer your questions by PM?
Look at all the help you are getting!)


Thanks Rob for all your help. If anyone here knows the travel biz it's you.

Dear Linda,

Thanks alot for the hot tip I will try and find some right now!

Kind Regards,

K. Koopman

Warning...

If you find a really good one you want - register it right away.
I have heard of some registrars and domain tools that have poached a good KW domain seconds after the searcher discovered it.
