This Golang program will attempt to find available short domains based on a few input parameters such as domain extension and maximum length of domain name
This is useful is you're trying to find short and unique domains. Particularly for url shortening websites or finding a free subdomain with few letters.
This was originally created to find a short .me domain as a student since namecheap offers those.
See TODO.md for a better way to do this
Uses the whois.go module.
To install:
go get -u github.com/likexian/whois-go
Usage of ./short-domain-finder:
-exts string
List of domain extensions (ie. .com, .io) (default "pw,xyz,dk,es")
-len int
Maximum length of domain name (default 3)
-sep string
Char used to separate the list of domain extensions (default ",")
-workers int
Number of worker to query whois in parallel. Too many may overwhelm the service and get you blocked (default 10)
Errors are piped to STDERR, so it's safe to pipe output to a file like so:
./short-domain-finder > output.txt
