Finding the perfect domain name for your site can be challenge. With a gazillion sites out there, the obvious choices are all taken. Bust a Name can help you come up with something clever, when your brain fails you.
To use Bust A Name, you input words into what Bust A Name calls a “word combiner.” You will then be presented with a list of available domains made up of combinations of the words that you input. You also can organize your words into groups, so that only certain words are combined. For example, when I started 40Tech back in 2009, I put “40” and “forty” in one group, and several geek-related words (tech, geek, etc.) in another group. That ensured that I wouldn’t get results like 40forty.com.
Bust A Name also allows you to save the domains that you like for review, and to save your session to return to it later. If you want to buy a domain, you can select the registrar from a dropdown list, and go right to the registrar’s site.
What tools do you use when you need to cook up a domain name?

Man, you just made my life easier…thanks! I think this will help me save time and be more productive. Not only will it help me think of names, but I also don’t have to go looking for GoDaddy promo codes ;0
Nice job!

Glad it helps, John. I have this strange addiction to collecting domain names, so it saves me lots of time.
