Check Out My Domain Name Generator - DailyBlogTips

Posted: 14 Feb 2012 08:06 PM PST

I have an excel spreadsheet which contains over 400 prefixes and suffixes, and whenever I need to find a domain name for a new project I use it to come up with ideas for available domains.

For instance, say I am planning to launch a website about photography. I would run through the list adding prefixes (e.g., BestPhotography.com, ExpertPhotography.com) and suffixes (e.g, PhotographyZone.com, PhotographySquad.com), checking whether the resulting domains are available or not.

The problem with this approach is clear: it takes a lot of manual work!

To solve the problem I decided to create a small web tool, called Free Domain Generator. It lets you choose if you want to add prefixes, suffixes, and what extension you want (currently it supports .com and .net only). After that it will check all the domains for you and return a table with the results.

Keep in mind I coded the tool over the weekend, so there might still be some bugs around. If you find one just let me know and I’ll fix it asap. Also, if you have suggestions for new features let me know as well and I’ll try to add them.
