The site appears to work, responds quickly (despite being on Hacker News), so good job. Bookmarked. Howeveer, it did claim some domains are free when they are not. I searched for "hit feed", it brought up hitfeed.com as free, but it's already registered. What would you say your site does better than leandomainsearch.com?

i think domains are being claimed free because of high traffic. i like leandomainsearch. but when i was looking for my domain i ended up using bustaname(synonym search), leandomainsearch(prefixes, suffixes), domainr(country tlds and hacks) and some thesaurus website like rhymezone. that's 4 different sites i just wanted to combine it all and add something to create fun names formed from merging like groupon as well.

Glad to hear you're a Domainr user! Let me know anything you'd like to be improved on it.

Plenty of the results are "buy" but are actually part of godaddy auction

The landing page has too much useless junk on it. My advice would be that unless it adds to the actual functionality of the page to eliminate any. If you're having problem rate every element on the page on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being "fluff" and 10 being "must have" and then cut everything that's 9 or less. Also either hire someone who has an art direction background to layout the page or use a template. And again, m…

great advice. i will use your technique. i am not good in web design. do u think i should add a carousel instead of those 4 boxes?
