Finding unregistered 3 / 4 / 5 character domains

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Just a general question - would it be useful to have a list of available 3 / 4 / 5 character domains (all letters)?

Teaching myself programming and I have knocked upa few scripts that do all combinations and then tries to see if they have been registered before making a list of unregistered names.

If its useful I may run the scripts now and again and put lists up somewhere, if not I’ll slip quietly back into the darkness and carry on learning some programming.

Ipower Web Hosting Domains

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

One thing I will say positive about Ipower is their domains are only $6.95 and it comes with domain privacy.

However, you are required to deal with a large company with several hours of hold time for support. Plus, you sometimes must wait before receiving your account setup letter and on occasion have to contact customer support to get that letter.

I believe they use the registrar - Tucows.
