David Daniels

You've come up with the perfect name for your website...but it's already taken!

Don't you just hate that??? It's probably happened to all of us. I remember being so excited to go and register www.DavidDaniels.com when I was still selling real estate, only to find that it was already taken. So I tried Dave Daniels....already taken. Then I tried DavidADaniels with my middle initial...and guess what?

Yep, already taken.

Grrr.

We even ran into the same dilemma recently while creating a new "look and feel" for David & Erin Brown, a wonderful couple of ActiveRainers from Naples, Florida.



We wanted to build their whole brand around "David & Erin"....and in the process, discovered that www.DavidAndErin.com was already taken. A young couple who had gotten married a year ago was using it as a personal website for their wedding. It included photos, guest lists, etc....and you guessed it, their names were obviously David and Erin!

Can you imagine the audacity???

Well...we contacted them....and fortunately they hadn't really been using the site since posting their honeymoon photos. We inquired as to whether they might be interested in selling the domain name....and they were. It cost $150.00 I think, but it fit with the whole branding that we'd created...and was well worth the expense. We now have it forever!! Woohoo!!

But we must have spent hours at GoDaddy checking availabilities of alternate names...when it occured to me. Hmmm....I always buy my domains at GoDaddy ($9.99 ea.)....and they've wanted us to become a reseller for them for ages. Maybe I should look into that??

Well...as a result, we've recently created www.FTYDomains.com to serve our customers. You can also find it under www.FlyersToYouDomains.com. It's an approved GoDaddy reseller site, so you get the same great pricing that GoDaddy offers, the same oustanding customer service, and the same product mix (hosting, email accounts, website builders, SEO, blogs, etc.)

We invite you to come take a look around...and ask us any questions you may have regarding your domain name needs. We're pretty opinionated when it comes to domain names, especially in regards to real estate. We always recommend you stay with .com if at all possible. We also recommend that you avoid hyphens, as most prospects forget to add them. The word "Realtor" has to stay out of your domain name purchases, as it's a trademark owned by Realtor.com....(and they'll make you take the site down and change the name). I guess that's the benefit of working with our site. We've been in the business of helping Realtors market themselves and their properties for almost 8 years now...and can easily assist you in deciding which names would be the best!

So if you've been racking your brain for the best domain name ever....or simply need a place where you can check and see whether certain names are available....come visit us!

It's an easy name to remember: www.FTYDomains.com

We hope to see you there!!

Dave
