New Domaining Tool: DomainScour.com

                                                NEW!

Domainers are pleased to have another useful tool at their disposal. Many have found that DomainScour.com , developed by Michigan-based design firm Ninjamuk, can greatly reduce the time it takes to find and acquire a new domain name.

Geared toward webmasters, the site streamlines the domain-finding process into a few simple steps. Using the site costs nothing, and is easy enough for even the most digitally-challenged to operate. 

DomainScour owners are encouraging visitors to offer comments and suggestions on the site by using the 'Contact' link at the bottom of the page so they can continue to shape and refine the site.

Personally, I like the added feature of available name hacks that are automatically displayed when typing in a domain name.
