My Domain Name Generator
For fun this weekend I decided to build my own domain name generator. It is a one page site built with ColdFusion (CF) and JQuery (JS). Basically it gets random words from the categories you select in the order that you select, then checks to see if the generated domain name is available. If so it provides a link to godaddy.com for the result.
If people actually buy a domain name via the site I theoritically get a 20% commission. Now I just need 500 domain names a day purchased from the site and I am all set.
For those wondering how I am getting the availability, I looked into the reseller programs of the main registrars and found that each had a fee to sign up. GoDaddy actually charges the most if you want access to their API. So I then found a handy whois cfc posted by Dan Vega that used Java to ping a whois server. I modified it for my needs and just parsed the results as needed. Instead of going the reseller direction (I don't want to be responsible for anyones domains and I think people would prefer to register with godaddy directly) I signed up with Commission Junction for the affiliate program.
Let me know what you think. What categories should I add? Any words missing from categories that you noticed? Any spelling errors?
