1. Lean Domain Search
Creating a domain name for your website or blog that is available doesn’t have to be a long, frustrating process that makes you want to scream. You can find a fantastic one in a flash with Lean Domain Search.
Common Method for Generating Domain Names on Lean Domain Search
Most people create their domain names by combining two or more words together. One of the words is usually related to their business, website or purpose such as SalesForce, BusinessWeek, Extreme Tech and many, many others. Lean Domain Search specializes in generating domain names of this type. In an effort to test just how simple it is to use Lean Domain Search, I entered “GamerAddict” in the domain search field. I was then offered 4,999 available domains containing gameraddict. Of those, I chose “GamerAddictHelp.com; and since that domain name is available, a pop up box indicated “Registration Options” including:
- Namecheap
- BlueHost
- SkyTechNG (highly recommend & FREE domain name when you buy hosting )
- Register and create a blog on WordPress.com
In addition, the site also notified me that “GamerAddictHelp.com” is available on Twitter.
All-in-all, I found the whole procedure both easy and completed the entire process in very little time.
Other Methods of Generating Domain Names on Lean Domain Search
• Prefixes and Suffixes – Lean Domain Search will either add a prefix at the front of the word or a suffix at the end of the word in order to generate domain names.
• .com – Because most nontechnical people associate .com domain names with the Internet, Lean Domain Search checks only for the availability of the .com for your domain name. Since the site only checks the .com, it does not show the .com in the domain name.
• No-no’s – You can’t use a number, hyphen or any other special character as part of your domain name. Lean Domain Search will indicate that it isn’t able to perform the search.
You Can Browse Your Search Results on Lean Domain Search
• Sorting and Filtering Search Results – Lean Domain Search provides easy popularity, length or alphabetically sorting of your search results. In addition, you can filter your search results to show you only the domain names that either start or end with your search term.
• Confirm the Search Result Availability – When you click on the domain name, a small window will pop up that checks whether the domain name is available. It will also check whether the name is available on Twitter.
• Domain Name Previously Registered – When you click on a domain name that was previously registered by someone else, the name box will turn pink.
• You Can Keep Track of Your Favorites – You can mark a search result that you like in order to keep track of it. All you have to do is click the star next to the domain name in the availability confirming window.
2.Wordoid
What are wordoids? Simply put, they are words that are made up, look nice, and are great for naming things. These words can be unique names for your company, product, blog or domain.
Wordoid is a free and intelligent, naming tool and a most creative tool for generating a catchy and distinctive name for you. It actually invents new words and does it automagically. Phonetics’ rules are followed as well as roll off the tongue. You won’t find these words in a dictionary, but they sound like real words. These words can be created in English, Spanish, French, Italian or German. It is not only free, but it is most definitely easy to use.
There are five simple choices for you to select when generating names in Wordoid:
• Languages: You can select one language in order to get Wordoids created according to that language’s rules. You can also select two or more languages in order to blend tastes of several languages.
• Quality Level: The higher the quality level chosen determines just how similar or natural the words sound in relation to the language selected. The three choices include low, medium or high.
• Pattern: You are given the choice of entering a short fragment or not including a short fragment by leaving that field blank. Leaving the field empty will allow Wordoids to be created entirely at random. If you enter a short fragment to be included in your generated Wordoid, you can choose whether it should appear at the ending, containing or beginning.
• Wordoid Length: You are able to set the maximum length of your Wordoids. This selection is important since short ones look better than long ones. You can select whether the length is any number of letters between 5 and 15.
• Domain Names: You are given the choice of either showing or hiding Wordoids with .net and .com names availability. By selecting “show”, the site will show whether the Wordoid is available and where. For example, I chose to generate a Wordoid in English, at a maximum of 15 letters and beginning with “kid”. One Wordoid suggested was “kidstorio” and the site indicated that it was available as a .com and .net at GoDaddy.
