Ask HN: What are some well-designed domain name checking tools?

2 points by kilomanamolik ↗ HN
Yesterday I read this post from HN: http://semmyfun.blogspot.com/2010/09/get-that-4-letter-domain-youve-always.html

And in the comments somebody mentioned two sites that check the availability of domain names. However, the author has since removed that comment, because he himself owns a site that provides a similar service (but is down for me right now). Does anybody remember what the two linked sites were, or can somebody point me in the direction of some well-designed and comprehensive domain name checking sites?

Thanks guys! Wordoid was one of the two mentioned. The other one had a better interface than any of the ones listed so far, and would automatically check queries as you were typing across all domains, and would then remember and list the queries. I don't know if that's a helpful description at all.. Regardless, the ones icey listen should more than suffice as they all do the same thing essentially

If it helps, the second site had some unique "startup-y" name to it as well..
