A domain name generator works with your keywords to find available domains that match up.

In the early days, domain name generators simply mash words together with techniques like string concatenation.

Essentially this means taking a keyword and adding other words to it in the form of prefixes and suffixes. 

In the early days of the web, this was a reliable method, but with over 1,689,523,428 registered domain names, this method is outdated.

The next generation involved the use of multiple APIs and custom rules and exclusions to create sophisticated algorithms for creative, and consistent domain names.

2. HOW TO GENERATE AN ORIGINAL BRAND NAME

  • The domain name should be short – and we’ll set 8 letters as the optimum number with some give or take (say 6-14). The best examples like “Facebook”, “Google”, “Microsoft”, “CodeinWP” all circle the magic 8.
  • Let’s make it easy to pronounce and spell so people have a more favourable association with it.
  • No hyphens and no numbers unless highly relevant. Numbers especially can be difficult because potential visitors might not know whether to use the number or the written word. Hyphens can be associated with spam domains.
  • Do you choose a name that matches what you do? Some people choose a name that matches the site topic right in the name. There are pros and cons to whether you choose a unique name of one that fits the topic.
  • Be unique and brandable but check you do not violate any existing trademarks. You will need to do market research to confirm you are safe.
  • Be memorable and catchy, this is particularly important for bloggers looking to monetize their content.
