Choosing an ideal domain name is quite difficult in modern times because so many names have already been registered that simply coming up with name combinations will usually draw a blank with all good top level domain (TLD) or generic domains already taken.
Because of this, innovative domain search tools have cropped up which can take a word or a collection of ideas and then run multiple searches for any available domains that could be registered which include the word or phrase needed. This can save much time along the way.
Here are a few tools that offer various ways to search for available domain names for registration.
