    What to do when the domain names I want are not available?

    What to do when the domain names I want are not available?

    I think if we do not get the intended one then we must have some alternatives in our mind but it should be relevant as far as possible. A change of spelling by misspelling the word is one trick that some people use. For example one might be creating a blog for good coding practices and does not get the most obvious name like codelearn or learncode then one has to try the kode in place of code. It is worth trying sometimes.
    Knowledge is power.

    Here are 13 tactics you can use if you can't have the domain name of your dreams.
    -Try to buy it. Duh, right?
    -Add a verb to your domain name.
    -Extend your brand in the URL.
    -Consider a ccTLD.
    -Add your country to the domain name.
    -Look at alternative TLDs.
    -Use a domain hack.
    -Experiment with abbreviations.

    When we ran a webshop, we used these:

    1. Add a verb to your domain name.
    2. Extend your brand in the URL.

    And they were pretty legit tactics.

    You can do some things:
    First, buy it. If you don't get the exact domain then get another one and add suffixes and prefixes to get new domain.

    Consider altering the domain name slightly by adding a prefix/suffix, using different extensions. Alternatively, brainstorm and opt for a unique, available domain.

    When the desired domain names are unavailable, consider tweaking the name slightly or exploring alternative domain extensions. Additionally, you can reach out to the current domain owner to inquire about purchasing or leasing options. Alternatively, consult with a domain broker for assistance in acquiring a suitable domain.

    Get Creative: Try variations or combinations of words related to your brand, product, or service. Think outside the box to come up with a unique and memorable domain name.

    Use Different Extensions: If the .com domain is taken, consider using alternative extensions like .net, .org, .co, or country-specific extensions like .uk, .de, etc. However, be mindful of the implications of different extensions for your target audience.

    Contact the Current Owner: Sometimes, domain names are parked or owned by individuals or companies who are willing to sell them. You can try reaching out to the current owner to inquire about purchasing the domain name, although be prepared for negotiation.

    Monitor for Expiry: Keep an eye on the domain's expiration date. If it's not renewed by the current owner, it may become available for registration again. There are services that can help you monitor domain availability and expiration.

    Consider Domain Auctions: Some domain names are sold through auction platforms. Participating in domain auctions could give you the opportunity to acquire a desired domain, although prices can vary widely.
