GrabaGoodDomain Blog

Folksonomy wrote an article today: Domain Name 101: An Entrepreneur’s Guide

The post they wrote is good and I enjoyed reading it. They focussed on buying existing domain names though and they haven’t really looked or though of a service like GrabaGoodDomain.

The reason we created this service is so people don’t have to buy expensive domains that domain squatters are sitting on. Instead they can use a company like GrabaGoodDomain to suggest creative, memorable domain names to them.

Another Happy Client Saying good things about us:

GrabAGoodDomain provides an excellent service - within a couple of days I got quality domain name ideas any number of which were very marketable.”
- Nathan Holman

These guys used our service, but then found a name themselfs. This is what they had to say about us:

“I’d definitely use your service again in the future, and will not
hesitate recommending it to others, thanks for your help!”

Last week I wrote Guys like this is the reason you can’t find a domain. This week  the New York times is running a story on a similar guy: Millions of Addresses and Thousands of Sites, All Leading to One.

Once again these guys are registering domains left right and center to make some advert revenue off the sites. We think its criminal, but what can we do. Nothing, but think of better more creative domain names.

CNN Money is running a story about Kevin Ham and how he parks, buys and sells domain names. He is making $300 million from this and thats the reason that normal people can’t find domain names for their companies or websites.

This really annoys  us, but its also the reason we started GrabaGooddomain and are using people to think of creative names that Mr Ham’s scripts can’t find.

Here is what one of our clients said about us:

“We were looking for a new domain for a sister site and within 48 hours,
GrabAGoodDomain gave me several good .com domains that we had not considered. We
ended up reserving a couple of them. Grab-a-good-domain does exactly what it
claims to do and the customer service is impeccable. We give it 5-stars!”

Thanks for the kind words Steven.

CenterNetworks is running a startup completion where you can pitch your startup. We decided to enter and below is a link to our entry. RSS readers can click here. We are vary interested in their review since we have taken their advice to change our theme. We are also going to extend our invitation to them again to dream up a service and get us to search for a domain for them.

We just updated our theme and we think it looks great and its vary simple. We also added an Ethics section like we promised giving some more information about what we do and making our intention and code of conduct clear to our prospective and current customers.

Center Networks wrote a good article about entitled Need a domain name? These guys say they can help! about GrabaGoodDomain today. We really liked what Allen Stern said about us. He mentions a few things that we would like to address and let you know what steps we are taking to fix these issues.

1) Our theme: We are going to hire a designer to help us create a custom theme as soon as possible.

2) Our Ethics: We are not in the business of registering domain names. We don’t register or sell domain names, we only suggest domain names to our clients. Our clients have to register their own domain names. We have strong ethics and would never cheat or steal our clients ideas or domain names. We like it when our clients give us vague descriptions of their sites or services, because this helps us to be more creative when looking for available domain names.

We are in discussion with a lawyer about creating terms of agreement. If your company have their own terms of agreement or a non-disclosure agreement we are happy to sign it.

Here are some interesting facts about domain names:

1) 50 million .COM domains registered

2) 100% of 3 letter domain names are taken
