Beat Writer’s Block With A Domain Name Generator

Posted on May 11, 2008 at 5:29 am

Looking for a good way to find a domain name? The most exciting part about creating a website is trying to choose an appropriate name- you can pick a name that corresponds with a personal name, a fictitious title, or something that describes the purpose of the website. Its fun to be creative when thinking about the possibilities; but what if the name you choose is already taken?

Remember, there are thousands of sites already out there in cyberspace, and most are already performing a similar online service; so what to do when your top domain name choices are taken? The best idea is to use a domain name generator, which will help take the guess work out of thinking of an alternative unreserved domain name.

A domain name generator is a fantastic online tool, which allows users to either pick a random name for unreserved domain name titles, or on some sites, type in a chosen keyword and the site will generate relevant available domain names. It’s much easier than constantly having to rethink of domain name titles after repeatedly being rejected from the domain registration website; and the services are usually free.

An impressive domain name generator site called Makewords.com actually uses a keywords based search for relevant domain name titles. Say a website specializes in copywriting services, it can be assumed that the word “copywriting” in definitely registered somewhere on the web already, so the word copywriting is typed in the keyword box.

The results will generate multiple different unreserved domain names related to copywriting. Better still, it will generate a suggested list of web hosting sites from which to purchase your new domain name. This is an amazingly efficient and useful tool; and even more impressive in that it offers an analyzer for each suggested domain name-complete with a background history, list of possible past owners, and any businesses related to the name. Once again, that’s a pretty impressive service!

For those users who haven’t the slightest idea or preference on what to choose, there are random domain name generators that provide basically the same services, but without the keyword suggestion box. One site specifically creates a list of 5 unregistered random names, which usually look like nonsense words-yet for those with no real preference to the domain title, one may just turn out to be a winner for the right person.

If the domain name generator doesn’t help, there is also the option to purchase pre-existing domain names from domain name sellers like Sedo.com; which offers a list of already existing domain names for sale, usually listed in alphabetical order.
