With the .COM domain now having over 21M registered domain names, it’s impossible incredibly difficult to find a good domain name that hasn’t been snapped up by a squatter. More and more people are turning to domain hacks (e.g. del.icio.us) to get the domain of their dreams…well, their second choice at least

Here’s a tool that makes it a little easier to find a domain hack that works. But a good way to start might be to look at the domain extensions that are available (below) and work backwards. Like I said, .COM has about 21M registered domain names, but there’s some new ones that have less than one hundred registrations. For example, letsdi.sh is available or wobb.ly.

I give each of these domains about a year until the squatters completely corrupt them too, so get out there and register! Good luck!
