    There are now approximately 2.4 million .com and .net domains registered per month (Symantec). Sometimes, a recycled domain name is the best answer – expired domain purchase, auction, or private sale. You really have to be careful, though – some of these domains may have previously delivered malware, porn, or other questionable content. Make sure and do your homework and really research your domain on the Wayback Machine, Yahoo Site explorer, and other resources. We’ve set up a free cheat sheet at http://siteriver.com/domaintest.php to help you conduct your 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.
