14 Best Domain Name Generators

Word of advice:

These domain name generators are artificial intelligence, so they are not perfect.

However they are good enough to get the creative juices flowing in your head, so you can pick the best domain name for your website.

Name Mesh

There are a lot of complicated domain name generators that require you to tweak different settings to get the results you’re looking for. Name Mesh isn’t one of them. This tool is incredibly simple to use. Just type two or three keywords into the search bar and the generator produces a variety of available domain names categorized under headings like “common,” “new,” “short,” “similar,” “ and “fun.”

Lean Domain Search

Lean Domain Search is consistently ranked as one of the best domain name generators on the internet, and rightly so. All you have to do is start with a keyword and you’ll get a bunch of results. (And I mean a BUNCH.) You can list them by popularity, length, or alphabetically. You can also set search term filters for more focused results.

Bust a Name

While the tool’s layout and design may not be as attractive as some of the more modern tools, don’t confuse its bland look with a lack of results. Bust a Name has a ton of features that other tools simply don’t have. These include the ability to set prefixes, suffixes, hyphens, plurals, and even the option to drop the last vowel of a word.

Domain Puzzler

Some people just want a simple interface that does everything for them. If you fall into this category, Domain Puzzler is a good option. Type in a bunch of words, set your extensions, and you’re ready to roll. If you want some more advanced sorting options, you can always select the “advanced” tab.

Shopify Business Name Generator

Shopify is known for offering free tools to its visitors and the Business Name Generator tool is a good one. There isn’t a ton that sets this tool apart from the others in terms of features, but it’s one of the quickest and easiest to use.

DomainsBot

One of the neat things about DomainsBot is that it will actually notify you when a domain name that’s currently taken is about to expire. This gives you the ability to earmark certain names and possibly claim them if they do end up expiring.

Name Station

NameStation is more than a domain name generator, it’s a community. In addition to searching for domain names, you can also host a contest and crowdsource name suggestions. So, not only are you getting automated results, but you also get creative input from other people.

Panabee

Panabee is aesthetically pleasing, which matters to some people. It also gives you a list of related terms, which can help point you in another direction. An added bonus is the feature that checks social media usernames on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr.

Dot-o-Mator

Considering the simple look of this generator, Dot-o-Mator is fairly functional. Start by developing a list of beginning words and then create a list of endings. Hit the combine button and you’ll get a bunch of results. There’s even a mobile app so you can generate names on the go.

Domainr

Domainr doesn’t mess around with superfluous elements or functions. It’s designed to be a tool that you can access and use in just a few seconds. It produces a handful of available top-level domains and then ranks the best purchase options based on name, features, and price.

NameSmith

There’s some speculation amongst online entrepreneurs that name generators record your searches and then use that data in the future to purchase certain domain names that they feel like they could resell at a higher price. Whether that’s true or not, nobody knows. However, Namesmith doesn’t make you speculate. They promise not to share your data or sell it to others. All keywords are promised to be safe.

Wordoid

Wordoid is one of the few domain name generators that will let you set languages, word length, and patterns. Plug in a few keywords and see what you get. You can even save past searches for future reference.

Cool Name Ideas

Cool Name Ideas is, well, really cool. The tool asks you a few different questions – such as the type of business you’re naming, what benefits you’re providing to customers, and what style of business you run – and generates custom names that are tailored to your brand.

Instant Domain Search

As the name suggests, Instant Domain Search is a super fast almost instantaneous search tool. It starts showing you results as soon as you start typing. It also tries to show different variations and combinations as you type.

First Impressions

Intuitive Use

My first impression was that macOS didn’t seem as intuitive as I thought it might be. This could be due to the fact I’m so used to the way Windows does things.

There are some features of Windows which Mac completely lacks. For example, features such as pinning windows to sides of the screen, dragging a window to the top to maximize, even maximizing at all, were lacking.

I was, however, impressed by the screen resolution and clarity. The UI scaling for high resolution is also done better than Windows, and everything looks good even at high resolution. I also can’t get over how smooth text looks.

Installing apps

One thing I had trouble with initially was trying to install applications using the Apple App Store. For some reason I could not download applications without entering payment information.

Eventually, after some online research, I found a separate registration UI that allowed me to continue without payment information, but everytime I try to upgrade the system I am pestered to enter payment information.

Compatible Apps

I’ve been able to use equivalent programs for everything I need to do, but these programs are either the same or less fully featured as the windows equivalent. Here are the Window’s tools I use, along with macOS equivalents I found that deliver the same features or functions:

• Notepad++ – Sublime (not free)
• Tortoise Git – SourceTree (Doesn’t have a merge tool)
• Phpstorm – Phpstorm
• sqlyog – mysql workbench
• Microsoft Office – Microsoft Office
• CMdr – Iterm 2
• virtualbox – virtualbox
• filezilla – filezilla

Overall, I haven’t used a program which I prefer more on macOS other than maybe Source Tree over Tortoise GIT. I also heard that the Microsoft Office Suite had issues on macOS, but so far I haven’t run into any trouble with it.

I’ve found that I use the notes program quite often to keep things organized – in fact, I’m even drafting this article in the notes program. I’m sure there are programs that could make my life easier on macOS, and I’ll come across them as I spend more time on the system.

Integration of apps

The integration of applications in the system makes many features feel native to the OS (notes, email, terminal), which is nice. In Windows, the applications tend to seem very separate from the operating system and not as well-integrated.

While Mac’s Terminal is probably one of its biggest advantages over Windows, this has quite diminished recently with native bash support in Windows.

It can be convenient at times to use native Linux commands without having to install third party software (such as Cygwin for Windows).

No Grids, No Glory

The fact that there isn’t any kind of grid system with expanded windows, similar to Windows, tends to bug me in macOS. Any time I close or open a program and the launchpad expands or contracts, my windows are left with a gap below them which infuriates me. This may be possible to alleviate with UI extensions, but by default I don’t see a way to do this.

In addition, in Windows, the ability to “peek” at contents of open applications by hovering over their task bar icon is useful to me. The fact that application icons stack, and allow multiple instances to be grouped into one icon is also useful.

In macOS, every instance of every application, if minimized, will make its own icon on the Launchpad.

One of the things I dislike the most with macOS is that I cannot maximize windows similar to how the maximize functionality works in Windows. I have no idea why this isn’t a thing that can be done.

In macOS “maximizing” makes a window full screen – I’m not sure why I would ever want to even do that. In Windows, I love that I can drag a window to the sides or corners of a screen to easily manage multiple applications at once, or drag to the top of the screen to maximize.

A Recap

Pros of macOS

• It is nice having a Unix terminal built into the OS
• Vagrant seems to run much faster than Windows equivalent
• Application system integration is nice
• Not specifically, but the build quality is good, and the screen is high quality
• UI scaling is very good, and everything looks very good even at high resolution
• Quick startup
• Good build quality
• Good UI scaling

Cons:

• Window management can be an annoyance
• Not all the tools I use are as good on macOS as they are on Windows
• Need to go through Apple Store setup in order to download from store (I had issues with this and couldn’t even download at one point)
• Program incompatibility (not everything is available with an macOS version)

It boils down to personal preference

In the end, although I came out with a decent list of macOS pros, I still prefer a Windows PC for development. There just aren’t many compelling reasons to use a Mac over Windows. Maybe If I had been using macOS for years I’d be fine to continue, but because I have been using Windows for so long and know all the ins and outs – I definitely prefer it.

At some point I could see myself possibly using macOS as my daily driver, but for now I think I’d rather stick with what I am most familiar with, a Windows system.
