Let me start off by saying that I’m not easily impressed by the huge number of “premium WordPress themes” out there. Sure, some of them are really good looking, but in terms of customization, most lack that something that would make me say: “OK, this one I can easily adjust to my needs!”

It seems that almost every premium theme out there focuses to much on delivering a top-notch design, that would make it hard to non design-savvy people to tweak to their own liking. This is where the new Thesis 1.5 theme makes a huge difference.

When launching a new blog or website there are many things one needs to consider, like choosing a good domain name, choosing the best (or the cheapest) web hosting company, finding the right designer/developer or simply gathering information on how to create and maintain a website.

One such place to help you in the early (and not only) stages of your online journey is Web Hosting Search. According to the Wayback Machine, their history dates back to the year 2000, but only in late 2006, WebHostingSearch.com switched its presentation format to that of a review and information website, which definitely was a wise choice. In late 2007, with a bit of design tweaks, they managed to create a useful web hosting information guide.

Looking for the right domain name?

Then look no further. Web Hosting Search helps you find available domain names through its domain name search tool. You can either input your desired name (like MyWebsite.com) or a keyword around which you’d like to get suggestions of names. Either way, the results will tell you if your initial search is available as a domain name and also present you with a list of available alternatives, based on variations of keywords, synonyms and concepts similar to those you’ve first provided.

Until now, this tool has helped me twice. Once to come up with some of those available names for bloggers I’m offering on Blogsessive, and once to not only suggest a good domain name for a project, but actually the idea of the project itself. I’ll tell you more about this new project when things will start shaping up.
