Choosing Domains to Search

Generally you will only select a few of the generic unrestricted domains (shown at the top of the

list) or a few domains for your region of the world based on the domain suffix (shown in

alphabetical order below the generic unrestricted domains). For example, all .au domains

(.com.au, .org.au and so on) are for Australia. All .uk domains (.co.uk, .org.uk and so on) are for

the United Kingdom. There are usually restrictions on who can register domain names in these

country specific domains. Contact your local domain name registrar for details.

When important new domains are released they will be added to the list (provided a publicly

accessible domain name database server is available for them). If you would like a particular

domain to be added to the list then please 

contact us

. We will add it to the list if domain name

status information is publicly available for the domain.

Updates to the domains list are made available for free. Use the built in

 features to check and download them.

Using Thesaurus Alternatives

The built in automatic word thesaurus (lexicon) in Domain Name Pro is invaluable for finding the

ultimate domain name for your searches. As a simple example, when searching for "great bike"

Domain Name Pro can generate and search for similar domain names such as "top cycle" and

"best ride" (and many other combinations).

The maximum number of thesaurus alternatives to use can be set in the 

simple words

 search (as

a whole) and in the 

advanced

 search individually for each word group. The options are None, or 1

to 10.

The automatic thesaurus contains over 110,000 alternatives to more than 11,000 root words,

selected from the most commonly used words on the web. It is an excellent way to find the best

and closest matching available domain names for you. For example, a simple search with the

words "business help" and a selection of up to 3 alternate words (the default) will result in a search

of 40 domain names including the following:

business

help
