Finding  the perfect name for your website is getting harder every day with many of the good domains already taken. And it’s not just the one website. Just when you’ve  finally found the perfect domain for your website  it’s time to start the search over again for your  blog or  maybe a specialty website for a particular neighborhood or niche.

Here are a few tools that might help in your search for the perfect domain name.

DOMIZE is a fast and private search engine that you can use to rapidly check the availability of domains. http://www.domize.com

DOMAI.NR
Nowadays, it’s difficult to find a domain name that end with the popular .com, .net, and .org. Domainr helps you explore other TLD’s that have made popular websites like last.fm and del.icio.us stand out from the crowd. Searches will also include popular top-level domains that are available. http://domai.nr/

DOT-O-MATOR is a web tool that suggests site names based on prefixes and suffixes that you’ve entered (keywords). You can also use a category of prefixes (like “Tech” or “Homes”) and suffixes (like “Real Estate” or “Web 2.0 words”) to generate suggested site names for you. It’s a helpful tool for, at the very least, obtaining inspiration for a site name. http://www.dotomator.com/

STUCKDOMAINS is a database of expired domain names that previous owners have not renewed. Definitely worth a look. Remember the domain craze a few years back when everyone was buying up as many domain names as they could think of.  http://www.stuckdomains.com

Other domain names tools:

DOMAINTOOLS will help you uncover relevant information about certain domain names. They have a Whois search that reveals who registered the domain, a Suggestions search to help you find similar domain names, and a Domain Search that shows you what TLDs of a domain name are available.

We’ve launched our new  MLS/IDX, 7.0 platform.

The most noticeable of features is the new modern and exciting look and feel of the new platform. Some other visual highlights are the new 950px format, the integration of Google Maps for search results, and property details features that include a photo carousel that lets the user scroll through photos,

But looks aren’t everything.

More importantly to you are  the more engaging lead capture options “Save This Property” & “Request More Information” buttons prominently displayed beside each of the listing search results. Property Organizer pages that allow visitors to register, log in and manage saved searches, saved listings and email update setting.

As the administrator of the account you can follow along with your clients, see what homes they have viewed, view saved property searches and contact them directly.

Another excellent tool is our Hot Sheets. Hot Sheets are a way for you to provide a collect of listings and showcase them on a separate page of your website. A great example of this would be if you wanted to market to condo buyers. You could set up a hot sheet for Condo searches in a particular city, neighborhood, price range, etc.

Our new platform is fully customizable and can easily integrated to work with your existing website.

We’ve recently upgraded Diane Verducci’s IDX with the new 950px layout if you’d like to see it in action.
