I just found a new domain name which I though a good name. In fact, its so good that I can’t believe that it was still available. But before buying a domain name, one should find out the history of the domain. You don’t want domain which has been used for spamming, and thus penalized by search engine.
One tool you can use is http://www.archive.org/web/web.php. But there is a possibility that it was previously owned by somebody.

There is a a free cheat sheet at http://siteriver.com/domaintest.php to help you conduct a domain name background check. Just enter the domain you are researching and links are generated to help you quickly research a domain’s current status and past history.
Phil, I've tried it, and I must say it is a great tool :)
Does anyone know why you should avoid buying domain names from Go Daddy?
Simon, I know one thing: If you are in domaining (buying and selling domains) - GoDaddy will increase your risk of being scammed when transferring one of your domain names.
Any feedback from you?
