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?

My favourites in the following order are

NamePros :tu: Due to all the NP's that are willing to share their experience with others and because the mods are all VERY easy going.

Snapnames & NameJet - for the quality of drops.

Google - cos its just sooo handy to find anything about anyone !

DnJournal - cos its full of great interviews and is just ...brilliant !

Conceptualist.com - Cos Sahar really gets the brain cells going with his questions :tu:

sevenmile.com - but it looks like he's pretty much stopped posting

domaining.com - Very quick and easy to find very interesting posts on many different blogs.

Namebio.com & Dnsaleprice.com - Cos they work great and its nice to keep up with whats actually selling.

That's a great list Reece (and Charley)!

That list is really beneficial. Try checking them daily, most blogs are updated frequently.

There are so many places to visit online for domaining. But, these can be managed only when one is a full time domainer. Part timers can't find the time.

 

[deleted984054565403]

NamePros.com
NameBio.com
Domaining.com
EstiBot.com
DomainTools.com
DNJournal.com
NameJet.com

You know, the essentials.

I'm really surprised more people don't have spyfu.com on their short lists. How are you guys finding reliable PPC rates for parking without it?

 

[soggyindo]

nice choice domainraiders
:tu:
in response to a suggestion (by martinisky) i've added a trophy icon for most used sites for each category, and a star icon for lesser used gems. most of these mentioned now have trophies.
spyfu, snap and enom win stars

I also like BustAName.com for the domain generation category. Someone on the forums owns it and I've found it to be pretty powerful.

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.
