Desperately seeking domain info...?

Question

Can anyone explain to me how every domain name I plug into one of these online search engine / registration sites is taken ???

I mean I've tried some ridiculous stuff and it keeps saying they are taken, but I can BUY the domain from the current owner.

Are the sites logging the domain names I'm interested in, telling me they are taken, and then trying to gouge me ?

I've even tried my own personal name and they say it's taken...How the heck is that possible ???

A Google search in most cases finds no results for up and running websites with my three top desired domain names, so if there's no web site, how is the domain taken ??

UUUHHHHGGGG!!!!!! Someone please shed some light on this plz...

Answer 1

Finding an available domain name these days takes some real creativity.  You say you have three desired names,, well thats not enough.  

You might try some of the registration sites that will give alternative names using the three you would like!

Like http://aitdomains.com/   they will return a list of options for you to consider.

You can also add more to the front or back -- say you wanted something like

jetsales.com  -- you will never get it  but you could get

jetsalesworld.com   (just added a the name world at the back)

or

yourjetsales.com  (just added your in front)

Come on  don't get stuck -- there are names available! AND

change the site your using to check these with - yes there are some sites that record your checks!

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website:

1- Buy a domain name.

2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name

If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.
