Instant Domain Name Search Engine

The internet has been growing like crazy the last couple of years primarily due to, among other things, the ease of setting up websites and/or blogs. Setting up websites or blogs has been a preferred choice by many businesses (large or small) to promote products and services, and many people have also discovered that if done well, setting up websites and/or blogs can be profitable.

In the course of having to set up a website or blog, one of the first things one should be doing is to choose, preferably, a keyword rich domain name or a custom domain name. This has been proven to be a key factor, to build a long term online presence, establishing a brand and for SEO. Finding that ideal domain name however, can be tedious, daunting and to a certain extent, very frustrating. So how do we go about doing a domain search that will make our lives easier?

Enter PC Names – An Instant Domain Search Engine

The word “instant” is highly unusual to be seen for a domain name search engine.  We are mostly familiar seeing this term on search engines or social networks. PC Names however, is a service that does just that, checks for domain names instantly. Based on your query, the interface will instantly check whether the .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .us, .mobi and .name, TLDs are available. The results appear only within a couple of seconds delay, much for your convenience, and are clearly marked available (in green) or ooppss, unavailable (red) and for sale (in blue). If the name you are looking for is available, hovering on one of the extensions, you are immediately given the opportunity to buy that domain name via the registrars they use which is Godaddy, Yahoo and Network Solutions. Obviously you can also register for that name on your preferred registrar.

So, What Else?

Apart from having a very clean user interface, and an ulterior purpose, which is to help you search for available domain names, PC names provides the user with many other features that can be useful, or at the very least informative. Let’s take a look.
