Some general recommendations for domain name search terms are:

Select just a few keywords that are most relevant to the domain name that you want. For

example, your service or product name, company name, or the words in an ideal domain name

that you may have thought of.

Include a few descriptive add on words that supplement the domain name should the exact

domain name that you want be unavailable. For example, a few verbs (action words) or

adjectives (describing words) such as running, dynamic, or fast.

TIP!

For the best results the simple words, word terms, and advanced search terms that you

enter should consist of separate words for the domain name. This allows Domain Name Pro

to use the automatic 

thesaurus

 and 

popular alternatives

 to find similar domain names, and

enables better use of the 

search popularity rating

, 

Net Speak

 , 

hyphens

, and other search

options. To enter separate words in the search term simply separate them with spaces.

Pausing, Resuming and Stopping a Search

Once a search has begun you can pause or stop it at any time. The Search button changes to a

Pause button during a search and then to a Resume button when the search is paused. When a

search is paused any current domain names being searched will be completed but no new domain

names will be searched until the search is resumed. When a search is manually stopped

(cancelled) any current searches are aborted and the status "cancelled" is displayed in the results.
