Domain name generator, plus WHOIS and PageRank features

Website Design by John

I've been tinkering around with a domain name generator the last few weeks. The first fairly workable version is now available at GeneratedNames.com. The site's primary function is to leverage an English language dictionary to allow webmasters to find new and relevant domain names and register them.

The site also offers a combination PageRank check + WHOIS lookup. I added this largely because I got tired of looking up both PR and WHOIS data at separate sources.

The site still has a way to go. It is heavily dependent on a recursive function that grows fairly fast with the number of words you decide to lookup. So, there are still some speed issues with larger queries. Of course, if PHP has one really ugly aspect, it is that recursion is painfully slow.

Anyhoo... that's what I been doin'.

Welcome!

Wonder where to start with your web design business?

This blog follows along with my efforts to build and grow a website design business, Pro Content and Design.

The goal of this blog is to fill in blanks that may be empty as you get your business rolling.

This blog, particularly the source code section, is not intended for beginners. If you are not comfortable with databases, Ajax, DOM objects and other advanced methods, I strongly suggest you go take a look over at W3 Schools before even reading -- let alone tinkering with -- any of the code here.

I hope this blog has some value to web designers as they attempt to get their businesses going.

Good luck, and happy reading.

Thank you,

I highly recommend Art of the Start if you have no idea where to start with marketing.
