When you get into the game of building a web empire, you’re bound to have to come up with good domain names. All the one word dot coms have all been taken, so you’ll have to come up with some more creative ideas. The debate rages on whether you should use a hyphenated domain name like buy-this-widget.com especially for folks who are concerned about the SEO aspects.

Here’s a tool that helps you to come up with some domain name ideas. If you need to register a domain, I would go with either GoDaddy or NameCheap. Want an even better deal? Do a search for “GoDaddy coupon” or “NameCheap coupon” and you’ll probably find ones that’ll give you an extra 10% off.
