Welcome to Domain Social, a domain forum where people sell domains and buy domains, talk about domain name registration and help others when buying and selling domains.
Single noun domains are extremely rare and only if you're luck, you'll find an expired one at a reasonable price. Actually, once a domain becomes expired, the owner has 30 days to renew it. If not, it will go into a redemption period and eventually, it will be deleted. The last that I heard, this could take between three to six months depending on registrar. Definitely, too long of a period.
My husband keeps saying we should go through the dictionary, word after word, to find a one word domain that no one has taken. I don't think it's worth the effort since even if we did get a one worder, it would have to be something totally stupid.
Just get a program to check domain avaliability in bulk, find a dictionary file, add .com at the end and process it.
But its probably already been done (at least be me )

There are a few .net and .org dictionary domains still unregistered.
At one point domain names were actually free. Network Solutions (which held a monopoly over the registration services at the time) managed to get approval to charge for the names (even though they received US$2 million funding from the National Science Foundation). So a lot of the google names were registered for nothing. They still had to pay renewel fees over time.
I sometimes still wish they were free! I find it pretty difficult. I just started a new forum and found out a had to add an extra word like "place" or "lounge" for it to be available.

Don't we all wish they were free!! Only in an utopian society, I guess....
Well the one word domain could be very hard to find. I personally love the dictionary and all those words and the sound of them. Saying the word to yourself out loud might help.
grrr.biz is available. I don't know if anyone would want to actually use that kind of a domain name, and I'm not sure if it's a word really or not. Jolted.info and jolted.biz are both available. Maybe you should think verbs.
When I was starting I tried every word I know. No luck at all. You know, I gave up already. The remaining ones aren't that good anyway. Most are just plain crappy.
I donīt know if it is an urban legend or what, but sometime ago, I heard a guy registered the word "espaņol" and nobody can use it, since he was asking huge ammounts of money just to end it. So, the websites that want to use it for their Spanish version, they have to use "espanol" without the little symbol over the n. One of the examples is CNN, because even though they are "CNN en Espaņol" their url is "cnnenespanol"
Again, Iīm not sure if it is just one of those urban legends!
