The big mystery behind Domain Names, can you get the domain name of your choice?

There are approximately 68 million .COM domains registered today compared to around 400,000 nz domains you can see that .com still reigns supreme

But if there are over 68 million domain names out on the Internet  many are just parked in some obsolete spot gathering dust and all kinds of age. There is a growing number of domainers that either buy domains to sell on, to keep, or to hi-jack by cyber squatting.  The most common names like confused.com. or elvis.com have been taken long ago and are proberly never going to come up for new registration again. So where does this leave you, if you’re looking for a domain?  

Did you know that here are 900 possible combinations for two letter sequences. But if you’re looking for “IT” then you just won’t find it!  Even allowing for digits, again every single web address is taken for .com Of course, that’s ignoring the fact that .com registrars now mandate a 3-character minimum length, so it wouldn’t be an option. Its well worth checking out what domain availability there is for the NZ TLD (top level domain) by buying and “land-banking” you could get yourself a really nice future investment.

Other ways to make great domain names
Many of the three-letter sequences are taken. Adding digits to a domain name creates a number of garbage domain entries. If you’re dying to acquire great domains and unique domain names, they’ll free up sometimes only to be auctioned off through unique domain name sales.  

Basically, the longer the domain name that you choose, the more that the possibilities are that it could be available presuming that you’re willing to accept an arbitrary sequence of letters and/or digits. For example, most organizations have 3 and 4 letter acronyms so you may have a chance using over 4 letters to get the domain name that you want in acronym style!

The best advice, we feel is to obtain a domain name that closely resembles who you are about which gives you and identity and brand on the internet.
