VeriSign Releases DomainFinder

Tool searches for available domain names.

VeriSign has released a fresh beta tool called DomainFinder to help people find available domain names.

On the surface the tool is just a basic domain name generator: enter a keyword and it shows you available domains you might want to register.

But it’s integrated into VeriSign’s DomainScore system, so domains that receive NXD traffic are denoted with a special icon. Hovering over it shows you the 7, 30, and 60 day DomainScore.

I know a lot of people debate the value of DomainScore compared to the actual traffic domains receive. But as DomainScore is improved I think the combination of these tools could be helpful. Following all, VeriSign is the firm best positioned to know which unregistered domains get traffic.
