#1 Free creative commons photos on Unsplash

Unsplash provides a great site where they release 10 new photos in high resolution every 10 days. The photos are released under creative commons zero so that means anyone can use them on any blog or website they want. It can be for private or commercial reasons. The owners of the images have waived all rights to the images.

This is another site where they have over 250k photos, vectors and art illustrations that are available to use for free. While they do have a limited amount of advertising on this site you can remove this by adding 10 images of your own to the site.

The photos are set out in various categories and I have found them to be of high quality.

Below is an example of a photo I have cropped from their site.

If you would like a free tool to make it easy to snap images or crop images to any size then download MWsnap just do a Google search for it. Its available as freeware and is only a small program. I use it all the time and find it very useful for working on my blog.

Domain names

Below is a list of the top 20 domain names by domain count on the internet. It can be difficult to find a top level domain name like .com if you want one of the top names like web or net. You can always pay a premium to obtain these domains but they can be expensive.

Even words such as ‘social’ can be difficult to find if you want to use it as the first word in your domain name.

Top 20 Domain Names

1.    web
2.    net
3.    art
4.    tech
5.    cloud
6.    shop
7.    home
8.    media
9.    world
10.    pro
11.    design
12.    mobile

14.    city
15.    tv

For a full list of names go to leandomainsearch who do a great job in compiling this list.

Personally I like to buy my domain names and hosting from Hawkhost who I have always
found to be very reliable. Their support is also 1st rate.
