It is not easy to create a domain name. Some good domain names are taken and most of domain names with dot com extension is the most favourable.  If the domain name is taken, I recommend you to use these pro blogging tips and tricks for choosing domain names:

  3. Use numbers instead of words, two becomes 2, and four becomes 4.
  4. Use short form instead of full word. Biz instead of business
