Looks to be using Google's Keyword tool to get related keywords (or possible latent semantic index scraping).

Two issues I've found after using it twice:

* It returns exact-match like domains, those got decimated in October 2012. (low quality content on exact match domains), and they are proving more difficult to rank related to "keyword over-optimisation" because the keyword already appears in the domain name. Creating content trying not not to overrepeat that keyword in the slug, or path, or content is awkward and unnatural. Better instead to go for a brandable domain rather than a colourless exact match domain

* The suggestions don't take into account trademarks and existing company names. So making domain suggestions of WalmartStock.TLD and WalmartLocations.TLD, and even Walmart.bix is treading in murky territory.

$ host confirm.io confirm.io has address 46.246.95.37 Interestingly, http://blockchain.info/ip-address/46.246.95.37

Do you check ips against the blockchain for the novelty of it, or is there another reason?

It was down, so I !g'ed it, and it was the first result: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=46.246.95.37
