After I saw the domain name of Kevin Rose’s newest enterprise, Pownce.com, I believed that perhaps I should purchase some short albeit weird domains myself.
Anyway, after researching a bit I managed to search out two interesting tools for that purpose. The primary one is dyyo.com, a search engine that may assist you to find 4 letter domains.
A while ago I even began in search of 2 and three letter domains, only to find that they were all gone… so 4 letter is as short as you’ll be able to go.
In keeping with the tool there are roughly 28,000 4 letter domains still available. Most of them are unpronounceable words like bqhj.com or pqhn.com, and that’s where the tool comes handy. You’ll be able to specify letters for every position, so just stick some vowels in there, hoping to give you something useful.
The second tool is 5letter.com, and as you almost certainly guessed it could possibly be used to search out 5 letter domains. Here you create a fraction and specify if the domain name should begin with that frament, end with it, or merely contain it.
For instance, if I specify domains to start with the fragment “po” I get the next names:
- pozzr.com
- pobie.com
- pokoz.com
- podrr.com
