Select the ".com" extension to change it to another extension of your choice. Press enter or the "Generate Domain Names" button to generate a list of domain names using your entered search. A valid domain name has between 1 and 63 characters. Characters can be letters, numbers, or the dash "-" character. A domain name cannot start or finish with a dash. A red border will appear around the search box if you have performed an invalid search.

Using Word Lists

A word list is used to generate domain names using words that share a common theme. A word list can be selected in the "Lists & Tools" menu and can also be typed in. A list can be identified by the "[" and "]" characters in the search box. When selecting a word list it will appear at the last cursor position. The placement of the list in the search box will determine where the generated words will appear. A maximum of 2 lists can be used at once.

"[COLORS]software" might generate...

"bobs[REALESTATE]" might generate...

"my[POSITIVE]workout" might generate...

Using Custom Word Lists

Your own word lists can be used by entering them in a Custom List box in the "Lists" menu. There you can enter your words into one or both of the text boxes. Seperate your words using commas, spaces, or new lines. To use your lists, simply select the "Custom List 1" or "Custom List 2" in the "Custom List" drop down box.

Using the Like Tool

The like tool is used to generate a list of similar words (synonyms). The like tool can be found in the Tools drop down box in the "Lists" menu. When selected, "[LIKE:]" will appear in the search box. Enter your word after "LIKE:" to generate a list of related words.

"gift[LIKE:store]" might generate...

Generated Results Settings

In the "Settings" menu you can generate results by either using Word Lists(default) or using Domain Hacks. Select the "Use Hyphens" check box if you want hyphens between the words when using Word Lists. The results can also be sorted using the "Sort Results" drop down box. They can be sorted by: longest to shortest length, shortest to longest length, alphabetical order, reverse alphabetical order, most popular to least popular, or random order. The length of the generated domain names is controlled using the minimum Length & maximum length drop down boxes. The "Numbers" checkbox can be selected to allow numbers in the results. The "Hyphens" checkbox can be selected to allow hyphens in the results. To reset all options select the "RESET" button.
