Pick a clever domain name with Domainr



In the past, you might have used one site to come up with a slick web address that uses a fancy top-level domain, and then another one to see whether your new creation is available.

Basically, it handles everything but the registration.

Domainr also gives you helpful links to information about international TLDs, so you can find out where they're based, who controls them, and how to register one.
