I love leandomainsearch when finding new brandable names with an available .com.

 

[Super-Annuation]

DNPric.es: they're better than Namebio because they're free, more sales data, and great reading sheets that line up like a ladies legs.

DomainIndex.com: price valuations are probably around 2014 era looking at sales records that are compared, but the gold comes from CPC, searches history and you get 7 free cracks per free account.

Rest is covered by the bloke starting the thread. Cheers.

Could you please stop promoting your website this way, as if you were just a user?

Domain.io - To manage my portfolio, and keep I on Sedo / Dan / and Afternic Markets to ensure my domains are live on those markets and priced correctly. Allows you to easily track renewals and gives you ability to add multiple txt records to your DNS with them to provide verification to various market places like Dan, SEDO, SquadHelp WLM, Godaddy Auctions.

DomainIQ - To research domain history and to search Keywords other domain owners target.

Estibot - Not because there appraisals are worth a crap. But it's and easy way to search for diamonds in the rough if looking at large lists of names. If you want to outbound they also have lead generation tools for your names. They have Keyword parsing tools as well. (Just note: Their appraisal system is developed around domains that would be considered traffic domains and exact match domains)

KWFinder - For keyword analysis and CPC data

UberSuggest - For Keyword Analysis and SEO
Ahrefs - Backlink checker

SimilarWeb - Domain Traffic Stats

DotDB - Domain Research

Dofo - Domain Research

Trademark247 - US Trademark Research

ExpiredDomains.net - (A must use daily tool)

Archive.org - See how domain was used in past

Whois.com - Simple whois lookups

Nambio and DNPric.es - Domain sales history

HosterStats.com - quick easy DNS history on domain

ShortNames - Research 3L, 4L, 5L domain sales in .com. (They also have short numerics if that is your thing)

SnapNames and DropCatch for back orders on any names you really want on the drop. SAV.com for any BO I think will be low competition. (Just bear in mind a $10 discount BO on DropCatch will beat SAV almost every time. (The only reason I risk this time to time is SAV is Afternic Fast Transfer and Sedo MLS Partner where NameBright is not a partner for either.)

Park.io / SAV / Dynadot for non .com / .net / or .org drops

SquadHelp - Domain Analysis and Keyword research tools.

Crunchbase, Github, LinkedIn, Twitter etc for keeping up on trends of new companies.

since learned only .com, in my younger days, tried to make it using wikipedia generic (not brandables/obscure sales examples) .com terms unregistered like up and coming or perhaps even not though AVAILABLE had I not looked in the first place exempting my knowledge exhausted and founded what I didn't know..
