Long time ago, to start a website, a person had to just check the availability of the desired domain. Alas, that does not suffice today’s webmasters. In the web’s current incarnation it’s helpful to know the availability of not only a domain but also Twitter, Facebook, eBay and even Flickr accounts.

The problem is that finding a name with a free domain is hard enough, even without having to run a check on every social network and website you hope to also register your brand on. That’s what makes UD.com so nice.

it can not only find out if your desired website name is free on several different top level domains but also on a variety of different social networking sites.

Getting started with the UD.com domain name checker couldn’t possibly be simpler. Just head over to the site and enter the website name you’re looking for into the search bar.

For my example, “GeekZu”, the results were as follows:
