Domain Names Scarce Again
If you're having trouble getting a good domain name, you're not alone. According to the VeriSign Domain Report (June 2007), the number of domains registered has doubled since 2004 (from >60K to >120K). One interesting trend is the growth of registrations in country-coded top-level domains (ccTLDs). In the first quarter of 2007 alone, 10,700,000 new domains were registered.
Given that there are between 500K and 1 million unique English words (depending on whether or not you include technical and scientific jargon), it should come as no surprise that every conceivable, well-known word already has a domain.
