Dot-o-mator is a domain name generator and lookup tool that can help you come up with potential domain names for your website or business. The built-in Whois tool also shows you information about domains that are already registered.

Dot-o-mator's Check tool lets you check the availability of any .com, .net or .org domain name. Just enter the domain name in the check field, and Dot-o-mator will show you if its available or taken. If the domain is already taken, you can see when it expires, view the Whois info to see who owns it, or view the domain's website.

When you find a name you like, you can save it to your Saved Names list. You can also e-mail one or all of the saved names to your email address. The email includes a link you can use to register the domains with your favorite registrar. (This app doesn't do the actual registrations.)

Dot-o-mator's Name Generator creates names by combining words: the word you enter, plus a list of word endings. So if you enter "cat" in the word field, and select the "Friends" endings, you get names like "catbuddy", "catfriend", "catkin", etc.

You can check the availability of all the generated names at the same time, customize the endings lists by adding or removing words, and create your own endings lists for even more name combinations.
