Ever heard of Domainr?

Domainr tells you if a word you enter is available as a domain hack, but there were no tools that actually find the words for you. Sorry I could have been more clear there, thanks for pointing that out.

HDF is very useful indeed. I had been looking for something like it for a long time now. Any plans on adding longer words or search?

HDF is cool, no doubt; but I have mixed feelings about using some of these TLDs for important projects. I simply haven't decided how much to trust these small registries.

Awhile back I bought tra.gd when I thought I needed a short domain for something. If someone were to build a brand around a .gd domain, could Grenada change their rules to disallow international commercial usage? A more popular ccTLD example is .io.

I bought dg.gs ages ago. (dg is my initials.) It's handy for super-short email addresses when you have to type one into a touch screen credit card terminal like square.

A lot of ccTLDs do not allow direct first level registrations. There should be a filter for this.
