There are lots of sites out there you can purchase domain names. I've bought alot of them over the years. For my personally owned domain names I use domaindiscover.com. For work I use networksolutions.com

If I could give you any tips on buying a domain, and you have the money to spend on one, like... in the hundreds... go for a really expensive one. Traffic drives easily to those sites.

I've checked this site, no traffic and it's worth about 60 bucks or so, maybe.

If there's no traffic, then it's not worth $60.
www.namecheap.com
Normally like $9.00 a year per domain.

I just use godaddy for personal hosting & domain name reg. I realize that I pay a buck or two more per year than the name-only registrars, but it's worth it.


At my last company, where one of my jobs was maintaining reg's of hundreds of domains, we used network solutions.

I use GoDaddy too, even though it's an unuser friendly son of a whore. But good hosting.

Just don't use godaddy to search for domain names. They might reserve the name you search for so you can't buy it elsewhere.
