Urlbuyers.com Announces Launch Of Unique, Powerful Tool For Finding A Domain Name For Your Business

- URLbuyers.com, Inc., an internet start-up based out of Tempe, Arizona announces the availability of their new website for finding domain names. URLbuyers.com enables users to check the ownership of a specific name. If it is available, URLbuyers.com can help you register it. The site also offers advanced features to help users create domain names from keywords. Their system creates a list of potential domain names, and then checks the entire list for availability all at once. And if the best names are taken, the system enables you to send inquiries to the owners asking if they are willing to sell for an amount you're comfortable paying. Once a seller agrees, an automated federally insured escrow account is used to provide safety for the buyer and seller until the domain name can be transferred in the official registry for internet domain names.

URLbuyers.com puts the power of getting a domain name in the buyer's hands. You specify a date you want to make a decision, and can return to your account with URLbuyers.com to see what your best domain name options are. The tools on the site are offered free of charge to buyers. The only thing you pay for is the registration fee for available names, or the domain purchase price if the domain is already owned. The site also uses the latest in security technology to enable you to safely pay online for your domain names.

18,313,786 domain names have been registered as of June 1, 2000, according to an Internet domain leader Whois.net. This indicates that the number of registered domains is doubling every year! With this astonishing growth in domain name registrations, available names are becoming harder and harder to find.

"With unprecedented levels of domain registrations, it is clear that a tool for helping buyers find available domain names is becoming a necessity. Also, with so many names registered but unused, a mechanism for facilitating domain transfers is also needed. We're fulfilling both of these needs." Stu Wilbur, the company's Chairman & CEO said.
