This Ruby script uses the .com zone file to generate a list of high quality available domain names for a specific industry.
Before running, make sure you generate a domains.txt file with a list of all registered .com domain names and place it in same directory as the script.
For instructions on how to generate the list, check out Extracting a List of All Registered .com Domains from the Verisign Zone File .
Check out this blog post...
- In
generator.rb, modify these two constants:
INDUSTRY- This is the industry you want to generate a domain forSIMILAR_INDUSTRIES- These are other industries whose names you want to check the availability of.
For example, if INDUSTRY is "marketing" and SIMILAR_INDUSTRIES is "advertising", "media", and "consulting", this will find all common registered names for the similar industries, then check which of those are not registred for "marketing".
-
From the command line, run
ruby generator.rb. -
The results will be in the results directory such as
results/marketing.txt
