My buddy Jamie Harrop found this awesome new little site that helps choose a domain name by automatically trying every possible combination of whatever words you want in the domain name.
The original post comes from our HTMLHelp.com Blog.
The site is called Bust A Name and it has some truly excellent features and will really save a ton of time when it comes to choosing a name for your next new Web site.
Here is a video overview of all the features:
Now, I just want to point out two things:
If you find a domain you like over at BustAName that you want but would rather using 1&1 to register it here is a simple little form to use to re-check the domain availability and quickly register it. Oh, and by the way it’s the cheapest domain registration that I know of…

Yousaf,
I checked out your site, but unfortunatly I can’t play the videos on either my cell or laptop.
Drop me an e-mail and we can discuss the matter in a little more detail if you like.

Cool. I used this

and I registered many domains for 3.99 :).

The trend these days seems to be to take a word you wanted for your domain, drop a letter (like the “e” in flicker - to get “flickr”) - or just phonetically describe a noise that’s tangent to the activity which will occur on the site. For example, twitter is perfect for describing the action of giving brief updates to your friend…
Once you’ve got the domain, on to the logo: bubbly and glassy. We-la - Web 2.0 branding. Now you just need to build a web ap (yes, the simple part…)
excellent, thanks for that
Very cool site, I love how they send you straight to different registrars if you find something you like, I have always used mydomain and I was pleased to see them listed too…
I thought what a great way to try to find available 3 character domains, So I put in a b c d and so on…
A nice long list of domains popped up, and I saw ADO.COM was listed as available, my heart skipped a beat or 3 while I waited for my WAY too slow Internet connection to load up my regular registrar to check this. Of course the domain was not available that would have been way too cool
So I guess they have a few bugs to iron out still at Bust a Name…
Still a very cool and unique system, so I bookmarked it for next time I want to buy a domain.
