3. PickyDomains.com

If a name for your business or a domain for your website is something you’re having trouble coming up with, you’re not alone. You’re definitely normal, and you’re a likely candidate for a naming agency’s services. A business name, domain or slogan that’s a good fit for the business, product or service you offer can do wonders in the long run. But before you go about jumping in on a naming agency’s sales pitch, ask yourself, “Am I willing to shell out a ton of cash?” If you are, go ahead and do your thing. If not, let’s talk crowdsourcing.

Contributors will keep your requirements in mind when making suggestions. And here’s what makes PickyDomains.com’s service risk-free: If you don’t like any of the suggestions, you get a refund.

JetRadar.com is a search engine that carefully sorts through 728 individual airline sites, flight sites and online ticketing outlets to come up with the best and cheapest airfare deals possible, and makes the data available for public use. JetRadar.com is out to become the ultimate online airfare search site, allowing users to significantly cut down on the time it takes to normally find the airfare deal that suits them best.
