Domain Name Generator
• A ‘Domain Name Generator’ is a tool that
helps you discover a name for your

add nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. to
create a name for you
• The tool does a search of unregistered
domain names and only returns responses
that are available.

• Get your business
named ASAP, for the
same reason an
entrepreneur would.
You need to control
your brand.
Of course, you can always create a name that
is unique, that no one else has. Who would
have thought of Google? Or, who created
Verizon (What is a Verizon?)

Is There Something More
Important Than The Domain
Name?
• Your content is the key to a
successful website, whether
you host it, or if it is hosted on
a blog/article/other site.
• Without original and unique
content, domain names may
make no difference at all.
• Example to the right is an
slide presentation on Google
Hangouts on Slideshare.net
