What Domaining Resources Can't You Live Without?

[soggyindo]

I've started a site which links to domainers favourite resources. It has an updated list with latest thoughts on things like best parking, registrars, metrics tools, etc. - namehugger.com

I'm going to be polling entries to decide on what gets in once I properly launch. But I thought I'd start by asking what domain-finding resources people can't live without today?

For me it's

Freshdrop - to save time scanning crappy ebay, TDNAM etc names
Snapnames - much better than Pool and Namejet IMHO
Namepros - of course
Statbrain.com - checking visitors before I buy
Moniker's bulk checker - for scanning lists and not having domains stolen

Yours?

Excellent post. I can't add any that have not been mentioned but there were a few posted I did not know about. Rep is on the way! Best of luck with your site.

cheers neobodhi!
still taking suggestions about design and useability.
bustaname and dncleaner are great suggestions, and will put them in. some others that are handy are
iwebtool
quantcast (i prefer over alexa. they even tell you what newspaper a website's audiences read)
dropscout
4letternoob, dnxpert, dotsauce, nameclerk...
and a few others, that have already made it in

While DRT and (to an extent) Domain Name Analyzer do an ok job parsing out domain names from junk text, nothing beats a good old fashioned web based (fast) cleaner.

http://www.dncleaner.com is my favorite.

Dncleaner does not detect all domains though, when I cut&paste dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm it gives me 164 domains when there are in fact 358 domains on the page. Partly this is because it only supports certain tld's but it also fails to detect many .com, .net, .org domains. It's worth double checking the results.

Definitely good to know, thanks Josh.
