WTF is it impossible to find a good domain?

[lioneds]

I was trying to register a domain name, and it's almost impossible to find a good domain name. Every fuck'in word in the dictionnary or combination that you can think of is taken.
And if you think that you are smart and creative and you came up with a good one. dude, the domain will be premuim and you have to pay dizillion dollars to buy it.
WTF, how can I find a brandable good domain. is that impossible nowadays?

I looked at buying socialexperiment.com and it was available.

Shocked me to the core.

Try: yourkeywordo.com or x

It's a good price for someone else!

Expired domains are your friend in this situation.

+1 for expired domains

 

[plottsch]

Also try:

COMPANY NAME (OBSCURE) + KEWYORD

For example:

ROAR + SUPPLEMENTS (I should charge you for this lol)

"https://domains.google.com/m/regist...8624578.1525811681&searchTerm=roarsupplements"

+1 for expired domains

There is a thanks button. Use it.

Your username is brandable and lioneds.com is available. Heck if you don't I will!

They're not if you're creative. A couple of years ago I scored my brand's 6 letter domain, Brand new for 0.99 the first year. Try mixing 2 or more words, like micro soft.

Did you end up buying it then?

There’s a really helpful tool from Shopify to generate domain name ideas. It’s better than anything else I’ve used! Google it.

Do you have its name?

There are so many domains available even today. If you are struggling for a one or two word combo try going for a different TLD or a shortened version of it that is less common, you could even go random letters and go the branded route.

Lots of options for domains outside of auctions and private purchases still to this day.

No, 31K for a domain for the kinds of things I do is nuts.

If you're going for short and brandable, I've had surprisingly good results with LLL[niche] and similar, and 5-letter pronounceable names aren't entirely impossible to find (yet).

If you're going for short and brandable, I've had surprisingly good results with LLL[niche] and similar,

like: LLLUsedCars.com?

Dropping the verbs from words seems to be a popular thing now. Also making up words, using a completely random word that can be branded.

like: LLLUsedCars.com?

I meant LLL as a placeholder for any letter. So in your example, I would go for BJSUsedCars, since it's brandable as-is (BJ's), but any two or three letter prefix can be backronymed into a good brand.
