Okay, you’ve now come up with a brilliant idea for a website. All you have to do is think of a domain name and/or slogan that would best describe your website, something a potential client or reader wouldn’t have trouble remembering, and you’re ready to set up shop. Problem is, the ones you come up with are already taken. What is the next best thing to do?
Read below for a brief review of PickyDomains.com.
PickyDomains.com – What It Is
PickyDomains.com is a naming and branding service that provides easy-to-pronounce, memorable domain, name or slogan that accurately describes what a client’s business is all about. It is 100% risk-free, meaning, a client only pays for what he likes. Further, there is no shortage of suggestions because PickyDomains taps into the online community for suggestions.
Here are a few of the catchy domain names that clients picked via PickyDomains:
- MumsAndMe.com – online shop for moms.
- ScrapSculptures.com – scrap metal art.
- PriceSpectre.com – price quoting service for eBay.
- NadaPay.com – alternative payment system.
- WiseExec.com – domain name for business and management portal.
PickyDomains.com – How It Works
For clients:
Price is $50 per domain and $75 per slogan. This, in my opinion, is fair enough as there are agencies out there that charge up to thousands of dollars for the same service.
To sign up for an order, all you have to do is register, fill out an order form and make a deposit of $50. Payment can be made through PayPal, credit card, wire transfers or other conventional forms of payment. Suggestions can be received almost immediately.
If none of the suggestions are to your liking, simply ask for a refund.
For domain suggestions, you will be required to provide the following information: what your website is about, which extensions you intend to use, keywords for your domain name, how many characters and words the domain name has to have, whether numbers and dashes can be used and examples of websites that you like the suggestions to be geared towards.
For contributors:
Suggesting domains and slogans for PickyDomains is a money-making opportunity available to basically anyone on the web. Joining is easy and can be done in a matter of minutes. Once your contributor account is set up, you’re ready to browse through the available orders and start making suggestions.
Depending on your rank and order type, you’ll be getting 40% to 60% of the order value. That averages around $25 to $75 including premium orders.
Payments are made through PayPal. Contributors are paid within 72 hours after their suggestions have been selected and registered by clients. In countries where PayPal is not accepted, unfortunately, there’s no other way to receive payments.
So there. If you need fresh and catchy inputs for a domain or want to exercise your innate domain-naming talent, I suggest you give PickyDomains a try.

Hi Maricel.. This is interesting.. hhmmm.. It’s been months that I haven’t checked my site and my networks..but now I’m back.. lot of things to do and your post is interesting…
I know the reply is already overdue. But hey, better late than never, yes?
Thanks, Jeanny, for the visit and the comment.
I registered in pickydomains because of you
Sis, thank you for the trust and confidence. 🙂
Just remember, the crowdsourcing model is different. Only one winner gets the prize. And if you happen to find anything not right at all – anything – remember to bring it up with the owner right away. Mr. Davidov will do everything to investigate and straighten things out, if indeed something is amiss.
Maricel, what a great review. You did not oversell the product. You left room for readers to make their own decision.
I just recently bought a new domain name for my site. I never even heard of them this would have been very helpful.
I got my Alexa ratings down to 157,000 and I started over for a better keyword focused domain name.
Michael, thank you so much for the visit. And I apologize if the reply had been really late. Too much stuff going on. And thanks for the kind words, too.
Next time you need a new domain, you might want to keep them in mind.
Really? Then again, I would have to concur that sometimes, starting over isn’t so bad, is it?
