Domain Name Soup is designed to help you generate 'Domain Name Ideas'. There
are two scenarios, depending on whether you already have a business name and
need to incorporate this into your domain name, or your are looking to setup
a domain name that just reflects what the site is about.
I already have a business name
If you already have a business name which is known by customers, for example,
your business is called 'Grenfold Cleaners', you probably ought
to keep the word Grenfold in your domain name. In this case the word
Grenfold is an unusual name and should generate plenty of available names. You
could try entering the phrases grenfold and 'grenfold cleaners' into the domain names search. Don't forget so select which Top Level Domains (TLD)
you would like to search e.g. .com, .us, .co.uk. Typically .com extensions produce a lot less results than country specific extensions such as .us
If your business has a more common name, such as 'bike shop', you are going
to have more difficulty. Options open to you are
- Try hyphenated
versions of your name
- Try different extensions
- Try different words in front your name eg premium
words, cool
words, business words
- Try changing individual letters of your domain (e.g. the domain
name mangle tool)
- Try entering multiple choices for one of the words, in this example
we have tried store, outlet and world as options instead of shop
- Try the thesaurus. In this example,
in this example we have only selected shop for the thesaurus.
