If you already own a domain name and want to use that, then we just charge $10/year. Hosting for blogs could cost you much more than that. As far as the spelling of Nombray, for trademark purposes it's better to choose a spelling you can own. I feel lucky to have a seven-letter domain name in this day and age.

I made up names that I was sure they were not taken. "not available". I checked verisign for a number of them. They were all available. Maybe, it was just a temporary disconnection from the registrar they are using. Or, they have a big problem. The concept is very good. And, I don't think the price is bad for the average consumer. It is interesting that the major registrars had not thought of this approach first. I entered a number of different names and it produced - “not available”.

It definitely has it's place on the web and I wish the guys running that service all the best. We need more products/offers doing more cross selling and integrating domains as part of it.

In my case, I am the business. Related people are hired or subcontracted and not in a position to take over for me so if I go, the brokering and consulting would be referred away but the domain sales, renewals and acquisitions are planned for. Every business has to choose it's brand, for me, my name .com works well into the foreseeable future.

But if you die, knock on wood, who would want to buy or operate your business under your name…
