Innovative RSS in Action

We are always on the look out for innovative ways companies are using web technologies. We recently came across a very useful RSS feed from Network Solutions.This feed allows you to see all domain names that are expiring.

If you have ever tried to purchase a domain name, you have probably realized how difficult it can be to find an acceptable name. Due to the number of online business, many popular names are no longer available. Many remaining top choices are acquired by cyber squatters. You may quickly discover that even your top ten choices are unavailable.

If you are having difficulty acquiring a domain name, you should consider purchasing an expired name. Domain names must be renewed annually. If the owner of a domain does not renew, it becomes available again. Of course, these domains are still snatched up quickly, even the second time around.

The Expiring Domain RSS can greatly assist in your search by informing you immediately when a domain name expires. You also have the ability to customize your feed, making this tool even more valuable. You can enter keywords that should appear in the name or specify the extension such as “.com” or “.net”.  You can also specify if you are interested in names with hyphens or numbers.

Not only is this RSS feed an innovative use of technology, it may be an invaluable asset the next time you are looking for the perfect domain name.
