DOMAIN TOOLBOX: 30+ Places to Buy and Sell Domains

September 16, 2007 — 09:16 PM PDT — by Patric Herber — Share This The biggest complaint we hear about new companies these days is “what a stupid name”. Even Bill Maher has been taking potshots at the seemingly childish names web companies choose.

There are good reasons for that: it’s hard to find a unique name that isn’t trademarked, and even harder to find a short domain that’s still available. Still, there are plenty of places to hunt down interesting domains, and here we list some of the better ones. We’ve also included places to buy and sell more established sites.
