You want to start a website. The only problem is that you cannot find a domain name that will work for you. This could be for a few reasons. The most likely one is that all of the domains you want have already been bought by someone else. However, this may not be the case as your desired domains could be premium or you might just want to make sure before you pull the trigger and click that buy button. No matter what your problem is, this article will help you out.

All The Good Domains Are Taken

This is something that a lot of people struggle with when starting a website. It seems as if every good domain that you want is taken by someone else who most of time isn’t even using it. Now, I know how annoying this can be because I’ve been in that position many times. How do you deal with this? There are a few ways. First off, I would recommend going to an online thesaurus and searching for the perfect one word domain that you would to use for your website. Let’s say it’s “Dog”. Once the search is completed, you will see synonyms for your preferred one word domain. Now, choose some of these words that you like, and see if they are available. If they aren’t you life isn’t over, we just have to keep looking. Take those synonyms and add words to them. Your domain doesn’t have to be word. For example, keeping with the “Dog” keyword you could try BestDogTips.com, EasyPupTraining.com, or PupTrainingTips.com. All of these focus on the some general idea, Dog Training, but they are all different domains that could be available, and could be used by you.

The Domain I Want Is “Premium”

Premuim domains are domains that have been bought before, but have expired and returned to the public market. These domains are valued at higher prices for two main reasons.
1) They have already been purchased, and thus, they could be bringing in more traffic than other domains that have never been purchased.
2) The domain is short, memorable, and normally not more than one or two words.
My best advice is to stay away from these domains. Unless you have done in-depth keyword research and you know that the name itself will help you bring in tons of traffic, look for something else. It’s not worth it. Just use the steps I mentioned above in the “All The Good Domains Are Taken” section to find a different domain that will work for you.

The Domain I Want Is “For Sale”

Chalk this up on the board of things I also try to avoid, but I will look into if I’m confident that I can get the domain for a good price. When you see this on a possible domain, it means that the owner of that domain whether it be a individual or a company is looking to sell it. Now, the reason that I warn against these domains is because they can be scams, and most of the time if they aren’t the owner of the domain will want way too much for the domain. For example, I’ve had people try to sell me domains that may be worth $100 for well over $500 to $1,000. Keep in mind these are domains that get very little if any traffic and have no content currently on them. Additionally, buying domains does have other concerns such as well such as being search engine blacklisted or AdSense blacklists. All in all, I would not recommend buying domains if you don’t know what your doing because it is a very risky business.

And there you have it. I hope I have addressed some of the issues you may have encountered when trying to find the perfect domain name, and I hope I have shown you how to find a domain name just as good as your first choice that is available for purchase.  As far as purchasing your domain goes, I would suggest purchasing both your domain and hosting from Bluehost.
