We all know how painful it is when you conceive an idea and you want to start building the foundation for it and you get stuck hunting down a domain that makes sense for several hours. It has been said multiple times that the domain really doesn’t matter but I still think it does and the simpler and easier it is to remember the better it is. It is usually the most important or most complicated step to complete.
Here are the domain generators that I’ll recommend, they will simplify your task of choosing a domain name or names. If GoDaddy had one built in – wouldn’t that make all our lives easier?
There are a billion of these – I’m just listing a few to get you on your way.
- http://www.bustaname.com/ – my personal favorite, they suggest, validate and check availability. The domain maker tool is pretty powerful.
- http://domai.nr/ – pretty sweet and clean interface and insanely fast, lacks any options or configuration
- http://www.dotomator.com/ – Availability is not on screen, the send you to a domain provide which sucks as I have to keep bouncing back and forth. Word combination and suggestion tool is pretty handy and they have an iPhone app.
- https://domize.com/ – another nice and clean home page, you can’t possibly get lost. Suggestions are not available it only checks different length of the same word.
- http://www.domainsbot.com/ – Super fast and provides lots of juicy data for premium domains and etc..
- http://www.stuckdomains.com/ – Helps you hunt down expired domains, you never know you might get lucky
- http://ajaxwhois.com/ – Fast since its Ajax driving, however, its missing lost of features.
- http://namethingy.com/ – does all the guess work for you, pretty intuitive, just relax and click words that interest you as you see them appear
- http://impossibility.org/ –use this very frequently as you can simply type in a word and it will suggest several availability readable domains
- http://blungr.com/ – new at this time but it works great and also suggest none .com domains if you are looking for something like list.co
