Name Pros - A Resource for ‘Domainers’

By Adam | May 9, 2007

Who among us has had a frustrating time securing a good URL? I’m guessing just about everyone. While it is one of the most critical components of an internet company’s marketability, the process of finding a good domain is like searching for the Holy Grail. Okay, maybe it’s not quite that bad, but finding a good two syllable name that is available can be quite a challenge.

I think a big contributor to this frustration is the lack of community surrounding this black art. While there are numerous virtual forums for entrepreneurs to discuss startup strategy, code, and funding – you simply don’t find a lot of outlets for entrepreneurs to “buy, sell, and discuss domain names”.

Enter Namepros.com. Developed to be “an active community of domain name owners, investors, buyers, and sellers of all kinds”, the site is a great resource for anyone involved in the internet business space. After you register with the site you are able to post domains you want to sell, get free domain appraisals, conduct business with other users, and view lists of expired domain names. With a wide-array of ‘domaining’ forums and a database of 1.9 million posts, Namepros is also a great source educational info.
