According to a quick google search there are about 367million domains names registered. The max length is 253. So: 367000000 * 253 bytes = 92.8GB As you only need to know the domain exists. In reality it would be smaller than that as the average length will be much shorted. I expect 10-20GB You could get clever and use a bloom filter to save space, falling back to the api.

I will try it in the next few days and report back. Most likely a combination approach would be the best - check against the known data, then double-check with API on case-by-case basis. I might require login to get extra data, so it would be just a subset of users doing a deep-dive. Thank you!

I’ve downloaded a copy in the past. It’s a large zone file full of NS records (obviously?) and compressible to a high degree.

For cost of OpenAI try this demo using https://text-generator.io that does the same thing but much cheaper than OpenAI :-) https://replit.com/@LeePenkman/Domain-Name-Generator Switching is also very easy as text generator is OpenAI compatible/one line change of the base url/API key

Might be good to let people know you are the Founder of the above mentioned service.

Also, I couldn't find any information about the data it was trained on, and comparison with OpenAPI since you are offering yourself as a replacement for their API.

edit: found the following blog post: https://text-generator.io/blog/over-10x-openai-cost-savings-...

I can't see how its a 10x saving when your API performs worse than davinci (according to the blog post), and is 0.01$ per request. Assuming each request to use up 1000 tokens, the next OpenAPI model Curie is just 0.002$ per request.

Yup, someone's suggested that. I might do it going forward, if it's allowed, but for the first day I tried to prioritize getting it out there. Also, I have another project for which I store a huge amount of data, and as it turns out, data costs a lot of money to store! Depends on the size of the list, I might be better off paying for the Domainr API.

Also, this is only .com domains being suggested, right? So you wouldn't need the entire dataset, just .com domains.

Thanks so much for making. Have been looking for a tool like this for a while.

Some quick feedback: gave a lot of great name ideas, but for those that are available (green), doesn't discern between those actually available and those that are premium domains available to buy. All of the best names were $2k-20k to buy. If you could fix that would be a happy continued user. Agreed on affiliate links too.

"A dating platform that can only be accessed through a rather complex command line tool" yields: LoveShell.com

Ironically I met my GF online because I mentioned I was a Lisp developer and it turns our so was she. Not surprisingly it turned out we knew a lot of people in common, so it's surprising that we hadn't previously met. Sounds like you might have a good dating niche.

Sounds like a functional relationship

Hahahahaha, this will wreak HAVOC on GoDaddy's domain-squatting spam-business.

I can't prove anything but the last time we've brainstormed a brand and domain name, within a couple of days ALL of the name variants we searched for (which were free at the time of first search, and we did the search on an EU service) were taken, registered to GoDaddy, and a "helpful representative" offered us to buy it off them for like 150x the retail price.

The more people use tools like this to spam the squatters, the better.

Just checked, latest zone file for .com is 4.9GB compressed, .net is only 456 MB compressed (2.2GB decompressed). Not sure how large .com is decompressed as CZDS is giving me download issues for .com today but some rough extrapolation from .net would land around 24GB.
