| New Member | Newbie domain question Hi Folks, Im sorry to ask this of you Pro's - Ive searched but some quick input would be great. All newbie questions. 1/ whats the best domain research site- ( Im using domainsbot and overture) 2/ when searching on a registration site for an available domain to register (new) - is there any hassles with these sites scraping your queries - yeah im paranoid 3/ whats the best place to register if i need to transfer the site to my host 4/ good register & host (i see namepros, enom and godaddy are the norm) is there any hosting downsides to these? 5/ is there any advantage in preloved sites and so avoid the google "sandbox" ? 6/ with domains for sale - how do you check that they are Ok and havent done something naughty. Wow - I hope thats got most of it -- very sorry about such basic questions - This is a new area for me following my first excursions into web site building. Now to terrorise the domains forums Keep well.

| DNOA Member | Welcome to the forums! Good luck in your new domain hobby - it's quite fun and addicting! 1/ whats the best domain research site- ( Im using domainsbot and overture) Google and Overture. www.DomainTops.com has an automated appraisal system, which may work for you... :-/ 2/ when searching on a registration site for an available domain to register (new) - is there any hassles with these sites scraping your queries - yeah im paranoid I just use GoDaddy.com to search for avail. names ![]() 3/ whats the best place to register if i need to transfer the site to my host Just change the DNS to the ones you were supplied with. 4/ good register & host (i see namepros, enom and godaddy are the norm) I like PolurNet.com hosting & GoDaddy/NamePros Domain Registrars is there any hosting downsides to these? 5/ is there any advantage in preloved sites and so avoid the google "sandbox" ? Don't get messed up with TM issues, if that's what you mean. I was told to stop using GooglePlans[dot]com just recently... 6/ with domains for sale - how do you check that they are Ok and havent done something naughty. Their reputation and TR (Trader Rating) is a good resource. As for the history of a domain's site, if that's what you mean, archive.org is handy.
