I need a domain name, but it’s too similar to another one.help?

expired domain names
Furry Pals asked:

I want to start a website that will have restaurant/recipe type of “stuff” on there…I will not be selling anything on there “right now.” Anyways…the domain name that I wanted was taken, but when I typed in in the URL, it said that the domain name had expired three days ago. But when I checked on godadddy, It wasn’t available at the moment. I wanted to take that name and add the word “online” to it…so it would be “Blah blah Online.com.” It said that the domain name wasn’t taken, so do you think it’s ok to use that domain name? Or no? I’m so lost, and I’m sure you are after reading this too. Thanks! :)

    legally, as long as its not the same (which it cant!), you’re ok. You can add any word to make it available, just be sure its attractive and easy!

    Short & catchy domain names are very costly these days. You can buy what u want as it is expired but with some more investment.
    Open the page again, there should be definitely a contact info to call authorized one.
    A short & catchy domain name can help a lot in your business, you can try some other.
    at last if no option available, buy the BlahBlahBlahonline.com but keep it short as much as possible.
    Good Luck!
