## What is Dot?

Dot-o-mator is a domain name generator and lookup tool that helps you come up with potential domain names for your website or business. The built-in Whois tool also shows you information about domains that are already registered.

Use Dot-o-mator's Check tool to check the availability of any .com, .net or .org domain name. Just enter the domain name in the check field, and Dot-o-mator will show you if its available or taken. If the domain is already taken, you can view the Whois info to see who owns it and when it expires, or view the domain's website. If the domain is available, you can register it with the "Register Now" link (registration links open in Safari).

When you find a name you like, you can save it to your Saved Names list. You can also e-mail one or all of your saved names to your email address. The email includes a link to register the domains with your favorite registrar.

Dot-o-mator's Name Generator creates names by combining words: the word you enter, plus a list of word endings. So if you enter "quote" in the word field, and select the "Travel" endings, you get names like "quotejaunt.com", "quotetour.com",  etc.

This app automatically checks the availability of all the generated names at the same time, so you can easily see which names are available! You can customize the Name Generator's endings lists by adding or removing words, and create your own endings lists for even more name combinations.

The Thesaurus tool gives you even more possibilities for names. Enter a word in the thesaurus field and tap "Find Similar" to get a list of related words, then tap on any of the resulting words to either define the word, check that word as a domain name, or use it in the Name Generator. There are thousands of possible combinations!

### 5/5 — One of the best!

*2013-11-29, version 1.1*

All in all, a great app for generating business and website names. I love the website version so I had to get the app. You should check out the web version for more options (hopefully the app will get updated soon!). My only complaint: it needs beginning word lists too, but still very useful as it is.

### 5/5 — Great update

*2011-10-16, version 1.1*

The first version of this app was a little thin, but this latest update makes it a genuinely useful app. The name generator produces a lot more names (and I like being able to create my own lists). And the whois tool is a nice bonus feature that wasn't in the first edition. Well worth it.

### 2/5 — Pretty much crap

*2011-07-22, version 1.0*

Don't think this was exactly promising more, but all it does is add a word to your word from a preset list of 300 words.
