If you ever need to name for a company, website, product etc., then NameStation is the site for you. In addition to finding individual name ideas, NameStation can be used by teams such as agencies or workgroups to brainstorm, rate and review name candidates. Structured Name Contests help organize ideas and get feedback. NameStation is a useful tool for internet marketing professionals, SEO specialists, domain industry specialists etc.
We are taking privacy and security very seriously. We realize that available domain name ideas can be a valuable target to domain squatters, who want to profit by gaining access to other people's ideas. NameStation condemnes such activities and has measures in place to counter them.
You are right to be concerned about the privacy of your name ideas, since you can save and rate your unregistered domain name candidates, which are stored in a database hosted by NameStation.
Theoretically a database administrator could find out, which candidates you are considering for registration. This is not what we do though. NameStation is about providing the best possible solution for finding available domain names, not trying to trade with other peoples' ideas. We have been the #1 online domain name generator since 2005 and by now we have solid revenue streams from our paid customers and naming contests. Simply put, having invested serious time and effort into building a sophisticated service for finding available domain names, we would never risk damaging our reputation with something stupid like domain squatting or front running.
However, as long as a domain name is available, there is a chance that someone else may find and register it. Secure your domains as early as possible and register them with your preferred registrar. Ensure that only people you trust have access to your name contests and favorite domain candidates.
No. We never register any domains on behalf of our users. Neither do we reserve domains that our users have searched for. We have zero tolerance towards domain front-running or stealing other people's ideas.
