Here is a cool little add-on for you Firefox users, Firefox Domain Availability Extension. It is a domain name availability checker. Why go to a domain register company website to look for available domains, when Firefox can do it for you. No captcha’s, no waiting, just a simple available or not answer.

It took me about a thirty seconds to install, I had to restart Firefox, and there it was on the bottom right. Worked perfectly the first time I tried.

The “Register Now” link takes you to GoDaddy.com which I liked. Even when you are on the GoDaddy.com website you can continue to use it. Use it on a blank tab, it really doesn’t matter. This is a really fast add-on, and when you are trying out bunches of domain names to get one you like, this is great. You get your answers immediately, and you don’t have to play games to with a company like Network Solutions to find out if a name is available. It would be nice if this was an application on it’s own, to run on your desktop, but my Firefox is open pretty much all day anyhow.

Cool add-on for you webmasters out there, and domain brokers, download now.
