Selecting Domains

To search for the availability of domain names in the 

simple words

, 

word terms

, 

advanced

 and

pattern

 searches, and for domain names entered without a domain in the 

direct

 and 

whois

searches, you must select one or more domains from the domains list at the left of the Domain

Name Pro window. Simply check the box of each domain that you would like to check.

Domains List

The domains are color coded as follows:

Green

 for major global top level domains (gTLDs).

Yellow

 for other global top level domains and popular unrestricted country code top level

domains (ccTLDs).

Blue

 for the special country code .com domains.

White

/

grey

 groupings for each country code domains.

TIP!

If you perform a Simple, Word Terms, Advanced or Pattern search without selecting any

domains then the domain names will still be generated (and you can copy them to the

clipboard) without actually searching if those domain names are available. This is useful to

test your search term prior to running a full availability check or for searching for popular

domain names or web site keywords!

For some tips on what domains to select see the

Saving and Loading Domain Selections

You can save the currently selected domains to load at a later time by selecting File, Save, Domain

Selections from the main menu. Alternatively you can select Save Selections from the domain list

popup menu. To load a previously saved list of domain selections select File, Load, Domain

Selections from the main menu or select Load Selections from the domain list popup menu. Note

that the current domain selections will be cleared prior to loading.

Clearing Domain Selections

You can manually clear the currently selected domains by pressing shift del when the domains list

is active or by selecting Clear Selections from the domain list popup menu.

Jumping to a Domain

To quickly jump to a particular domain simply click inside the domain list (so that it is active) and

type the domain to jump to. For example, typing .au will jump to the first domain that includes the

.au suffix. The search is incremental in that the search is more specific as each character is typed.

If you make a mistake simply pause for a few seconds and type the domain again.
