Acceli Web Solutions launches an intelligent Domain Name Generator at www.makewords.com

The new domain search system at www.makewords.com contains a variety of features that speed up your quest for unregistered domain names.

Acceli Web Solutions, a New York web development company, announced today the launch of its next generation domain name suggestion tool and search engine at www.makewords.com

Unregistered domains can now be easily found with several new methods, like the random phonetic word generator, using different language rules, synonym search, popular affixes and more.

At some point almost everyone needs to come up with a name for their startup business, personal website or blog, said Tauno Novek, Chief Operating Officer of Acceli. We faced the same question when we were looking for a name for our company. That’s when the idea about the domain name generator was conceived.

The domain search engine was developed using the new Microsoft.NET framework that takes advantage of the AJAX (shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) techniques of the web.

We’ve been running it for a while now and the results are astonishing. Within minutes the search engine returns 5 and 6 letter domain names that sound good, are brandable and memorable! Apparently there is still an infinite number of good names out there, its just a matter of finding them,  said Novek.

Business Name Generator

Naming your business is one of the most important decisions you are facing when establishing a new company.

There’s a lot of room for creativity, but in order to have a truly unique, memorable and brandable name, you need to consider certain basics:

  1. You need a distinctive name that characterizes what your business does
  2. The name must be pronounceable, brandable and relatively short
  3. You want a name that has an available .com domain

While the first two are a matter of brainstorming and consulting with your friends or colleagues, getting the third one right can be an impossibly difficult task to encounter. With more than 50 million .com domains registered today, you can spend hours looking them up in the Whois database one-by-one, only to find that all the sensible ones are already taken. Fortunately there are the domain name suggestion tools, like http://www.makewords.com/, that generate hundreds of name ideas instantly, and speeds up the domain name search process greatly.

Very often the names have nothing to do with the underlying business, or service, such as Kodak, Google, eBay. Remember, it’s the uniqueness of the name – you want to distinguish yourself from your competitors. Deep etymology is secondary compared to the uniqueness and brandability of the name.

Another way to decide on a domain name is to try to figure out what message you want to convey to people and combine a couple of short words together, that are easy to remember. Many small businesses prefer to use words that cleverly suggest qualities about the underlying product or service without describing them outright, such as Lending Tree for loans, Slenderella for diet food products, or The Body Shop for personal hygiene products. Such names can easily be generated with the MakeWords.com Popular Affixes or Synonym searches.

If you’ve found the perfect name for your business, you have to take the extra step to secure it by registering the domain name. Domain name registration is not something to be intimidated about. It is a straightforward process, where you just have to follow the step-by-step instructions given by your domain registration provider. All you need to know, is your contact information. No technical knowledge is required.

If you don’t know which domain name registrar to choose, take a look at our top domain registrars page. If you are unsure, go with a known registrar like Yahoo or GoDaddy.

Combine keywords with affixes to create new domain names

September 25th, 2006 No comments

A popular way of producing a domain name is by adding an affix to it. Names like besttoys.com or buy-adventure-books.com are very easy to remember. And since they contain the actual words people are searching for, they are search-engine friendly.

We have carefully selected hundreds of affixes that contain such words. You can easily combine these words with your own keywords to find available domains. Try it with the MakeWords name suggestions generator.

Naturally, it is much harder to find names with keywords like home, travel or pets. In such cases you have an option to:

  • use synonyms
  • check the insert a hyphen checkbox to produce names like home-abc.com or home-tips.com
  • type in an optional Extra Prefix (like my or the) or Extra Suffix (s for plurals, d for past tense etc.) to get results like mytravelabc.com or petwins.com.

Since there are different words for different needs, we have sorted them to separate categories. The Positive Thinking category for example contains the names that are meant to provoke positive thoughts - like best, free, super, win. The Shopping category contains affixes usually used in e-commerce websites, like buy, savings, value, discounts and so on.

Create random domain name ideas

September 25th, 2006 No comments

A good name doesn’t necessarily have to mean something, as long as it is short and pronounceable enough to be brandable and memorable.

Such random names can be found easily with the www.MakeWords.com Name Search and Suggestions Generator.Example results are Acceli, Corol, Avaring, Photory, Teleter.

With every click, ten new names are generated using some preset language rules, that make the word sound like it would derive from a certain language. Without getting into much detail, the way it is done is analyzing the probability of certain letter sequences and lexical patterns of that language. With some luck, you’ll get a short, available domain name within a couple of minutes.

It is always a good idea to click on the alternatives link when a name you like is taken, to get more results from the Yahoo domain name suggestion engine. And if you need time to think about which name you are going to choose, just click on save, so you can create a list of domains and review it later in My Favorites; or maybe show it to your friends of colleagues to get a second opinion.

Finding the perfect name is an important step every entrepreneur is facing when starting a new business.

Having a brandable and memorable name is the foundation for a successful venture; not having it could cost you an arm and a leg in marketing costs, but no-one still remembers it.

Good domain names are still out there, its just not that easy to find them.

We have built something that can save you a lot of valuable time – www.makewords.com domain name
search and suggestions generator. Some clever algorithms and language rules in MakeWords deliver hundreds of
new unique name ideas instantly. In the beginning it may take a couple of minutes of getting used to it, but
once you do, you’ll save hours naming for your future products or brands.
We even have pages where you can find a name for your pet
, baby, roleplay
character
or for your AIM or MSN screen name

Good luck!
