Domains for the Rest of Us
- bdcravens 6y agoSo far the only ones it has generated for me resembling English are quite NSFW
- dannyw 6y agoCorkmonger.com is my favourite. Rothole.com another one.
- Azeralthefallen 6y agoI got fistable.com I am more impressed that hasn't been bought.
- indigodaddy 6y agoHopefully this site will pump fake some domain squatters into buying these..? Jk of course I’m sure these are direct Whois queries, and I know namecheap doesn’t practice that if the site is using them for the searching/ai.
- ad31mar 6y agoAm doing something very similar (with a heavier emphasis on neologistic words) with my project [0] :) I highly suggest reading the guide on brand names [1] before you register anything. [0] https://zlipa.com https://zlipa.com [1] https://www.nickkolenda.com/brand-names/ https://www.nickkolenda.com/brand-names/
- donmcronald 6y agoIt told me one.com and pump.com were available. Obviously they're not.
- bronson 6y agoRotate your phone. Some unfortunate styling is cutting off the fronts of words when viewing in portrait mode.
- dannyw 6y agoWas literally looking fo a two word .com that was available. Thank you
- lockyc 6y agoLove it, I have been looking for something like this for quite a while. Already bought two domains for projects :D
- mindfulhack 6y agoCombine it with knowem.com and you've secured your landscape.
- pwinnski 6y agoThis is incredibly clever, well done!
- vmception 6y agononbilingual.com x'DD most of these are trash but just stick around and it delivers
- esaym 6y ago> defornicationevent.com Ah you are correct
- SparkyMcUnicorn 6y agoThen some relatively short ones come up that make you wonder how they're still available. Like briskle.com
- draugadrotten 6y ago> gastrocidal.com Food addicts support forum, or cookbook. Or both.
- jcranmer 6y agoClearly, it's a cookbook for how to kill people with impossibly good food.
- ben174 6y agoLove this! FYI site is broken in portrait mode iOS safari.
- codazoda 6y agoSame on Android, Chrome, Android 10, Pixel 3a.
- runnr_az 6y agoYeah. Not great on iOS Chrome, fwiw...
- samtheprogram 6y agoLandscape mode as well, if the domain is long (it usually is). It seems responsiveness is broken in general. Cool idea, wish I could make out what the domains I was getting said.
- jtsiskin 6y agoThere’s something funny about an otherwise very advanced project being broken due to css issues. No matter how far you advance in the field you will still need to google how to center a div
- mxuribe 6y agoWe've developed the mechanisms for time travel, and are showcasing how to do so on our website...er, sorry, have to make a minor CSS adjustment <clicks refresh on browser> ...Um, ok, wait, maybe now; try it now! Hmmm...well, it works on my firefox, what version of Safari are you on? Interesting. Have you refreshed your local cache? ...Meanwhile. lab assistant hops into time travel booth (while lead scientist fiddles with css), going back in time, and removing css from history, and pushing gemini as main "web platform" instead of the web that we know today. ;-)
- stanislavb 6y agoFor the curious, there's a number of other helpful domain name generators https://www.saashub.com/domainsfortherestofus-alternatives https://www.saashub.com/domainsfortherestofus-alternatives. They are not AI generated but rather free names with suitable prefixes or suffixes.
- dannyw 6y agoFYI: parent is the founder of SaaShub. It’s considered courteous to disclose any affiliations you have, when self promoting.
- stanislavb 6y agoYup, you are absolutely right. I'm sorry about that. I usually do disclose it. I just forgot now.
- nirui 6y agoPostReticenceSyndrome.com Not sure why that showed up in my first try :S Anyway, I think the website can still be improved a bit: It just recommended me another domain OverSteerable.com. Of course the domain itself was unregistered, but then I looked up a similar one OverSteer.com and this one turned out been registered in 1994. I think similarity like this should be taken into account. Because when you tell people to go to "OverSteerable", they may end up misremembered it as "OverSteer".
- daenz 6y agoSome years ago I wrote a proof-of-concept chrome extension for "unlocking" domain names. https://github.com/amoffat/hash-n-slash https://github.com/amoffat/hash-n-slash The basic idea was that we should be able to use anything as a routable domain name, and not just limit it to short words or phrases.
- noman-land 6y agoThis is super neat but also sorta defeats the whole purpose of domain names, which is to have memorable names that point to hard to remember IP addresses. This creates impossible to remember hashes that point to difficult to remember IP addresses. This is essentially content addressing + location addressing. If you're not familiar, IPFS does content addressing in a really cool way. https://ipfs.io/ https://ipfs.io/
- userbinator 6y agoTo be fair, I've never had a problem remembering IP(v4) addresses, much like with phone numbers and (physical) addresses. The real advantages of using domain names is that it associates a word or phrase with the site, can remain the same while the IP changes, and also allows for virtual hosting. Imagine a world in which the Internet grew and commercialised before DNS ever appeared --- we may have ended up with IPs being as common knowledge as phone numbers.
- jjeaff 6y agoYa, it would be a world where everyone uses a "phone book" because most people would only memorize their most often used numbers. In other words, google would be even more dominant.
- rlayton2 6y agoWell, if the phone book gets too big, we can always add a unique human readable name to each, and then synchronise everyone's phone book world wide so everyone can share their notes. People could apply to have a human readable name associated with their IP address thats easy to remember.
- overcast 6y agonongenital.com is available, hurry guys.
- clircle 6y agoDipshitize.com Awesome.
- valiant-comma 6y agoI love this: Simple and entertaining, not to mention the creative utility.
- indigodaddy 6y agoFound two cool ones. loopsister.com and misexpose.com ... hah
- rdtwo 6y agoPelophile.com
- adventured 6y agobeemods.com, severestimation.com, sculpabag.com, polysemaphores.com, brimlet.com, lungocephalographic.com, saltcoatedoak.com, backalache.com, whiffard.com, haggitygoosey.com, externist.com, trunche.com, globefluid.com, hackergater.com, quagmosis.com, glooshy.com, punctualize.com, cheeziness.com, wristfist.com, redactal.com (five letters is the shortest I got: rohvy.com) I offer up these domains to my fellow HNers, to utilize in the pursuit of billion dollar dreams.
- dwrodri 6y agoVery curious to hear about the training set for these. If I had to guess, someone scraped GoDaddy/Google Domains/Namecheap for the "premium domains" that are being squatted on and then trained a language model on that corpus. Hopefully the OP can provide details!
- irrational 6y agoIt looks to me like it is finding nonsense words that are pronounceable to English speakers and then checking if that nonsense word is available. I assume a linguist programmer could create an algorithm to come up with pronounceable words. Is there a word for a nonsense word that is pronounceable? A potential word?
- jhanschoo 6y agoThere's more to it than just pronounceable. e.g. I got tranclitic, mysothelium, gurnt, 1. tran- looks like reanalysis of words that begin with trans-, and we often pronounce the -s with the start of the root word. Clitic is a word in and of itself. 2. myso- is a rare Greek prefix, thelium means nipple. Unfortunately, together it would suggest nipple of dirt. 3. There's a low-scored urbandictionary entry for gurnt, but that's about it. I think there's some knowledge of morpheme-like objects in the AI.
- joedogboi 6y agoMarkov chains, perhaps?
- sebmellen 6y agoA jabberwocky word perhaps [1]? [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabberwocky_sentence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabberwocky_sentence
- pfarrell 6y agoSide note. Searching for a pronounceable password generator [0] is how I discovered the excellent, historical multicians.org site. 0: https://multicians.org/thvv/gpw-js.html https://multicians.org/thvv/gpw-js.html
- matthodan 6y agoI wish there was a way to specify a prefix or suffix.
- ahnick 6y agoIf you are looking for more control over the domain name generation process, then you may be interested in trying out a tool we recently built called Mashword (https://mashword.com https://mashword.com). The approach is different from this tool as it does not blindly suggest domains, but rather keys off of the words you enter. Mashword takes entered words, determines the pronunciation of the words, and then generates unique spellings and combinations using a variety of algorithms. It will also quickly run domain name availability checks and provide quick links to register the domains if they are available.
- matthodan 6y agoWhat I'd really want is this service but put "software", "capital", "health", "app", etc. at the end of each domain. I bet there are some pretty interesting company names available if you add a suffix.
- ahnick 6y agoI'm thinking of showing suffixes like that once you click on a result that you like. Is that what you are envisioning as well?
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- johnghanks 6y agowhat
- untog 6y ago“quarrycock.com” Well, time to start a new pitch deck I guess
- ramraj07 6y agoIf anyone still wants a simple cool TLD .com, try out names with hyphens. They're almost completely unexplored and I personally see no downside (except typing the domain in a mobile keyboard but who types domains anyways).
- zhte415 6y agoTyping a domain or having a preference for a browser, perhaps more IT in background, is a huge generational gap. EDIT as I seem to be a computer! Let me explain a recent conversation, one of several, that illustrated this. /EDIT Chatting with a friend that wants an app for his small business, just a 3 page app with a contact form: His clients are mainly 20s, mainly early 20s, not particularly technical. Most (so, around 60% of his client base) comment "Why no app." Most would have never have much recall of RSS. He's 35, I'm around the same generation "Why do they need this? It's a front page and contact form, all communication then goes by email or Facebook." He said all about discovery and stickiness. Smart guy, certainly has a plan to increase stickiness with push notifications of articles/promoting his business. An interesting conversation.
- jelled 6y agoMy favorite suggestions are the ones that rhyme or sound similar to a more common word or phrase. Had a good laugh at sharktoot.com.
- labratmatt 6y agohelicopterygoidtumor.com
- quadrangle 6y agoI saw two I liked: plumsiness.com and wadpole.com Neat
- overcast 6y agoduelshit.com I'm tempted. Also wtf is there no refresh button anywhere on this page?
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- Cpoll 6y agoParty game idea: Pitch products based on the domain names generated by this site.
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- klenwell 6y agoslopier.com: enterprise accounting system decretism.com: enterprise accounting system calinum.com: enterprise accounting system
- Shared404 6y agoMake it competitive. One player gets to pick between three possible domains. The other players each come up with a business. Rotate as appropriate.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agodecretism.com: We use machine learning to identify cretins in your organizational structure and provide the Human Resources expertise to remove them. slopier.com: We optimize the last leg of the maritime supply chain, turn your slow pier into a fast pier! calinum.com: enterprise accounting system - based in California.
- jyriand 6y agodecretism.com Crowdsourced block list of all twitter cretins.
- LockAndLol 6y agoSo you want to block all of twitter then. That sounds reasonable.
- tunnuz 6y agoLove it.
- irrational 6y agoSpermatolite.com I can see having some fun coming up with the business behind a domain name.
- burlesona 6y agoThis is fun. But most of them look like new drug names to me :)
- throwawaynothx 6y agopissoon.com - fuck yeah. almost as a good as snagfest.com
- brundozer 6y agoI feel tempted to buy kleptosphere.com just to imagine someone's confusion the day they would want to buy it but get greeted with a "Sorry, this domain name is taken" instead.
- macintux 6y agoSimilar theme, I grabbed griftware.com when the site generated it. No idea what I’d use it for.
- krishna0512 6y agocool project! would be helpful if there is a refresh option to get the next random domain, instead of refreshing the whole page.
- nielsbot 6y agoNot bad!
- poulsbohemian 6y agoThere are so many of these words that in the hands of the right companies with a brain cell would be billion dollar ad campaigns. My partner and I have been clicking refresh for at least 45 minutes now playing around with ideas and are now sad at the number of missed opportunities to build brilliant, creative campaigns are represented by these seemingly throw-away domains.
- robinduckett 6y agoSomeone fix the mobile view jfc
- rambojazz 6y agoIt would be cool if this accepted a word as suggestion and created domains starting from that word.
- mattkevan 6y agoMissed a big opportunity to call it ‘This Domain Does Not Exist’.
- andrewnicolalde 6y agoSo many of these domain names sound like plausible names of name-brand prescription drugs..
- ThePadawan 6y agoBack in high school, password generation for the students was ((consonant)(vowel)) times 3. That algorithm alone is enough to end up with drugs for days. Renova. Polina. Noreto. Baturo!
- mjevans 6y agoGiven the constant pattern and size none of those aspects contribute to the search domain size. 21 ^ 3 * 5 ^ 3 = 1157625 possible combinations.
- ThePadawan 6y agoI'm sorry, I don't get your point.
- CrazyStat 6y agoThat's a very small search space and the passwords would be easily brute-forceable if there isn't some strong rate limiting.
- ThePadawan 6y agoWell yes, there were additionally special characters and numbers in the passwords. This was also before the internet and for less than 100 students. Not used for any homework or graded work whatsoever. I'm sure if you cracked a password you could steal someone's Blobby Volley.exe, but that's about it.
- JW_00000 6y agoOr diseases: corona
- cookieswumchorr 6y agofaglet.com Андрей, а ну-ка, выйдем...
- johnnyfaehell 6y agoI got the domain "niggerbar.com". I think that's not taken for a reason. Maybe it should filter out racial slurs?
- kseistrup 6y agomicrointerference.com — I quite like it.
- diimdeep 6y agoI sense bias towards existing pharma/medical keywords.
- bserge 6y agoReminded me of pickydomains.com, which surprisingly still exists after all these years. It's like 99designs for domain names.
- jiofih 6y ago“Zircally”, “potomaceous” and other don’t seem like very useful domains...
- palad1n 6y agoYeah, I used to speculate in domain names, and the ones that are coming up remind me of the crap ones I used to register before I knew what I was doing. Every once in a while you come up with unused ones that really stick out (like I remember there was "atomictangerine.com"), but otherwise I would recommend trying something more recognizable in a different tld (like "helloworld.blue" or something—there are a lot these days). My 2c.
- cj 6y agoIs there a market for niche TLD domains? If so, who are the people buying / using them? "helloworld.blue" sounds completely worthless to me. Even "hello.blue" - who would buy that for more than a few hundred dollars, and for what?
- thelightthat 6y agoJet Blue for a humanizing rebrand campaign? Not hard to imagine a scenario.
- thinkloop 6y agoBrenda Fletcher will be happy when they do [1] [1] https://helloblue.com https://helloblue.com
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- jp555 6y agoIn your experience of speculating, have you come across any data about the frequency of people actually typing out domain names? I seem to be typing them less and less over time. Are we headed towards a business phone number 515-555-5555.com being a totally sufficient unique domain name? And then well why not just skip TLDs and share IP addresses?
- dsr_ 6y ago
- chrisked 6y agogravestudiosi.com: The Great, Dead Studiosi!
- bla3 6y agogoosebum.com is funny.
- b5 6y agoI got chokeshottie.com immediately followed by fleshwrap.com... And several reloads later hardpapercock.com.
- ryankrage77 6y agoI got niggasawful.com
- anthropodie 6y agounprofessionalistic.com is available!
- imdsm 6y agoThis is great. Add a refresh button.
- ted0 6y agoLove this. Thanks for sending folx to Namecheap for the registration :)
- macintux 6y agoWell, you got at least one new customer through this. Thanks for making it pretty easy to sign up & buy.
- jedimastert 6y agoJust picked up a domain. Do you use affiliate links? I would be happy to toss you the few cents or whatever if you do, but if you do you should disclose it.
- pkz 6y agoIt suggested stereosperm.com - not sure what business I need to start now...
- freediver 6y agoThis is generating better sounding names than a famous accelerator.
- lukeholder 6y agofun... #!/bin/bash while : do curl -s 'https://www.domainsfortherestofus.com/' | pup '.domain-name text{}' >> domains.txt done
