One of my favorite critics JB Lion recommended HosterStats about six months ago, and it means more to me than other tools I use like GD's Valuation/Analysis, Namebio and Google. HosterStats tells me how many times a domain has been registered, for how long, who hosted it, when it was dropped, when it was renewed. While there are times I really like the fact it was registered before, ironically there are times that I like that it was never registered. For example, I was looking to add to my Idiom domain portfolio a few hours ago when I searched the idiom "Down The Hatch" it was taken, but I started playing with the name, and in a few minutes came up with "Down The Catch" GoDaddy valued the name at $1,431, and while I don't put much faith in GD Valuations I decided to check it out on HosterStats. Guess what.... no one ever registered it. Then I checked to see if "Down The Hatch" had ever been registered, and I learned it had been continually registered for 19 years since 2000 and never developed....now that's a "hoarder" for you. I actually liked the fact that "Down the Catch" had never been registered making it a true domain creation/origination and I plan to use that when I sell this name to an "end user"
I just luv HosterStats....sometimes you need to read between the lines, but it's still a great tool. What's yours?
