domain name finder

When it comes to building for the web, a domain name acts as the very foundation of whatever it is that you’re trying to create. A domain address is what allows others to visit your website, interact with it, and ultimately pass it forward. And the best part is, you can have your own custom domain name, there literally are no limits, and in the last few years we have seen a gradual increase in custom domain extensions that have swept the domain market off of its feet, although many would say that these funky extensions are nothing but a waste of time. I wholeheartedly agree.

As for finding the right domain name, well, that’s a different story. The first domain name was registered 30 years ago, and as you might imagine — many, many more domains have been registered ever since. This has created a huge gap in the market of domain availability, and these days buying/selling domains is a huge market in itself, with very popular domain names snagging prices of up to 1 million and up.

A good domain name is the starting place for any online business and/or blogger, and is the crucial part of establishing a solid online presence, you can also try and look into domain name generators, which are sites that help to choose from domains that haven’t yet been registered, based on different factors of your choosing, and if you’re really up for it, you can always buy a website that comes with an already established domain name.

In a recent ‘essay’, Paul Graham was trying to advise startup owners to invest in their own .com domain name for the sake of credibility, since a lot of the internet users today are still very adapted to the idea of .com being the one true domain extension there is, which definitely isn’t far from the truth. As you can tell, our own website CodeCondo also uses a .com extension, and I didn’t want to settle for anything less.
