NEW "UNREGISTERED DOT COM" DATABASE HELPS YOU FIND A GOOD WEB SITE NAME THAT
ISN'T TAKEN--FAST!
With almost every word in the dictionary already registered by others,
finding a good domain name for your site can seem impossible.
Sunrise, FL--Big-Web Development has introduced a new database service that
helps web site owners with the difficult task of finding an appropriate web site
name that is not already taken. The service, Unregistered Dot Com, uses advanced
dictionary-like functions to rapidly search through all unused names. Customers
are presented with a range of the best open and available names. The new service
shortens the time it takes find a new name by hours or even days.
Users not only find all available English words, but are given popular
permutations such as prefixing words with letter combinations like "ez" and
"net." This lets a web site owner take an already registered word like
"marketing"and add a prefix to the name to make it their own. Get full details

Few things are as important to a web site as its domain name. Easy to
remember handles like weather.com, price.com, and Amazon.com are corner stones
behind the Internet's most popular web sites. "If you got a web site name a few
years ago, you had your choice of just about any name you wanted. Today almost
every name you can think of has been taken," says Steven Chobotte who developed
the project. Web site owners who are forced to pick through a shrinking pool
available domains often feel forced to accept a name that is inappropriate, hard
to remember, or hard for many to spell. "Superduperwebsite.com sounds good when
you say it, but it's hard to read and it is easy to misspell," Chobotte said.
For the Unregistered Dot Come database Chabotte's team took an English
language dictionary word list containing 172,823 words and filtered out all
words longer than 5 characters. "We did this to choose only words that are
short, easy to spell and won't be a nuisance for a customer to type in," he
said. The database has so far uncovered 86,758 highly usable dot com domain
names that are not taken.
The service is a hit with Internet users and many web sites are planning to
add it as a way to build traffic. The Ungregistered Dot Com database is
available on an IBM compatible CD via UPS next day delivery and includes an easy
to use web presentation with full search capabilities. "This makes finding the
domain name that is exactly right a piece of cake."
