When you want to find a domain name that is striking to go with your current business, or because you are starting up on the web, you may be puzzled about where to begin.

First, you will have to accept that the top generic names

e it as read you are not in this marketplace, which is ridiculously overpriced, but wish to buy a fresh, relevant name, which fits with your business or subject for your new domain.

Doing it this way, there are many clever options available. Too look at them, I'll use an example. My theme for the new web site I want to build is collectibles. I do a quick check, and find that all the dot suffixes for the word collectibles itself are taken - .com, .net, info and so on.

One way of proceeding is to add a relevant adjective, and make a two word name. Things like small-collectibles.com, discount-collectibles or golden-collectibles.com may be appropriate for your site, and still give potential visitors a good indication of what your site is about. Using free key word tools like keyworddiscovery you can insert your keyword and actually discover what searches searchers are using when searching.

Performing a search, words like avon, military, nascar and so on are popular words available to combine with 'collectibles', depending on whether they are in accord with the subject of the new site. Even MyCollectibles has a ring to it (think of myspace.com).

Sometimes, this method of checking what searchers want will actually reveal a good idea for the subject of your new site.

However, if your business or idea has a geographical element, you can combine that with the subject of your site
