I’m kind of a domain junkie. In fact, in my wildest pipe dreams I am a domainer – a domain-trading mogul living in a 125 room mansion in Palm Beach, FL.
But I am not. Not even close. Still, I love to waste time by researching domains and fiddling with them all morning long. Sites like GoDaddy.com really suck as research tools: slow, difficult, and they force you to sign into your account.
BustaName.com is the genius brain-child of a Gaithersburg, MD programmer named Ryan Stout. That detail sticks in my head because I once lived close-by, in Silver Spring, Maryland. The service is free and it works damn well.
I urge you to buy your domains directly through the BustaName.com “Buy” feature. It supports most of the major domain registrars, such as GoDaddy.com, and will drop you straight into your account. I believe that Ryan receives affiliate commissions when you order this way. Considering the fact that he’s a one-man operation providing a wonderful free service, I think it’s good practice to do so. And it doesn’t cost you any extra.
