CNET Editors' review
Though it certainly won't win any awards for design, this sturdy application quickly looks up and creates domain names. Domain Name Analyzer and Generator's hackneyed interface lets you choose from the 17 Top Level Domain (TLD) extensions and key in potential domain names. You also can insert keywords for the program to develop names for you. Select the names to check availability and the application impressively displays its results. You'll quickly see whether a domain is available or taken along with information such as the server names, registrar, creation, expiration, and updates. Overall, this free application works well and is easy enough for anyone to use.
Publisher's Description
From HostingDude:
Complete Domain Name generator and availability checker software finds you the right domain name for your site, tells you if it's available, and lets you register it on-the-spot. Simple, just enter keyword(s) and the software suggests and checks availability of multiple versions of those keywords in various combinations, with and without common pre-fixes and suffixes attached (e.g. "eTractors.com" instead of "tractors.com"). You control all of this. You decide what prefixes and/or suffixes to use, if any. You choose from any (or all) of hundreds of Top Level Domain (TLD) extensions for the software to check, for example, extensions like .com, .net, .org, .us, .info, .biz,.cc, .tv, .ca, .ci, .uk, .nz, and hundreds more at your option. You can not only customize the list of prefixes and suffixes, but also use of hyphens in names. Found a big list? Easy: Just export lists of domain names to text file or MS Access file. Also a powerful WHOIS tool. If a name you want is registered, check who owns it and how soon it expires. Once you find the perfect domain name, one click lets you instantly register it for as little as $1.99 per year. Includes complete uninstaller to remove the software cleanly. Software does not use registry, so there is no risk of registry corruption.
What's new in this version: Now lets you buy the domain names you find for only $1.99 each. Wow!

"Does Exactly What It Says, Easily, and More If You Want"
Version: Domain Name Analyzer & Generator 3.2
Pros
It does exactly what it says it will do. Easy to run. Actually makes pretty clever and catchy suggestions. Six of the domain names I chose to register were under $2, and so I was shocked when I also got Free Privacy -- nobody can see my domain name ownership. I was pretty happy.
Also, this thing checks each domain name that it creates to be sure somebody else hasn't grabbed it first. That made it extremely simple to choose the best names that were AVAILABLE, and I didn't need to hunt them down.
It's a good little piece of software.
Oh, and it actually uninstalls itself without a hassle. It's not spamware or malware or junkware.
It doesn't try to sell you a better version of itself. It IS the full version.
You can uninstall it from your main menu, or the control panel. Simplest uninstall I've seen in software since DOS. No kidding on that one!Cons
Getting started is just a matter of clicking on a box, but if you don't take a couple of seconds to move your mouse over the icons, you'll not know which to click first. This is not a major problem, because it has tooltips which pop up when you move the mouse over the icon.
Summary
Does what it says.
You can do a lot more if you want.
Easy to use.
Actually forms all kinds of Domain Names.
Checks each name to see if somebody has taken it first (VERY IMPORTANT!)
Does lots more if you want to have more powerful domain name tools. -
"Powerful - I think - not intuitive to use at all"
Version: Domain Name Analyzer & Generator 3.2
Pros
It seems to be highly rated as being very effective, so credit must be given where it is due.
Cons
Counter intuitive.
It feels like it was written by someone highly competant technically - but with little idea of how to make an **intuitive** user interface.Summary
If you are determined to learn how to use the program despite itself, then it seems to be very effective at what it does. If you need something which is intuitive to use, perhaps not the first choice.

"Clunky, slow, not very useful"
Version: Domain Name Analyzer & Generator 3.2
Pros
Not very much
Cons
Interface is dated & overly complex, process is slow, results are nowhere near definitive, search capacity of 2 keywords is very limiting
Summary
Maybe I'm not geeky enough to get this product, but I really didn't find it at all useful, very sorry to say

"Misleading"
Version: Domain Name Analyzer & Generator 3.2
Pros
Does what it says, simple and straightforward, you can "build" a domain name - I like that.
Cons
The $1.99 is somewhat misleading. This price is only for the less popular domain names ending in .net, .info and the like.
Summary
If you need a quick and easy way to find available domain names, use this software. But don't expect to get a .com domain name for $1.99

"Excellent at GENERATING NAMES; finding AVAILABLE names"
Version: Domain Name Analyzer & Generator 3.2
Pros
Great at generating new names I never really thought of. And I can have it check ANY TLD extension for availability. It's super for finding 3-character domain names and showing me which of these are available. That's a big key in dn investing.
Cons
Actually another PRO. After finding the available names, I was able to register them right through HostingDude.com (the software author)for .99 cents a domain, which I thought was pretty much excellent, and I got quite a few good ones

When new TLDs come along, I just add them in to this software. I can just put them in as additional TLDs to use, and it checks them for availability also. I love that.
Good job. I've made some money on some great domain finds that I would not have otherwise had, but this software spotted for me. Thanks. All for free, too. No need to upgrade or buy anything else. -
"Handy tool for web developers"
Version: Domain Name Analyzer & Generator 3.2
Pros
Useful software for web developers.
Getting the right domain name is critical for a website you want to associate your organization or whatever entity with. This tool makes looking up relevant domain names less of a headache.
Be blessed.Cons
Nothing on cons

"faster than other software or online"
Version: Domain Name Analyzer & Generator 3.2
Pros
it's faster than searching on major registration sites, and i got a domain for $1.99 -- plus free website... you can do lots with it, i tried the rest, but this one works. installs pretty easy and removes completely when i'm done
Cons
takes a couple mins to learn, but worth it for the speed ....it's powerful, but that also means there are lots of options to figure out...

"Very Handy To have"
Version: Domain Name Analyzer & Generator 3.2
Pros
It is a great tool to have and use. It's interface is little unordinary but thats besides the point. It is a good tool to find those domains names one is searching hard to find.
It is fast and ffaster then searching for a domain on godaddddy or anywhere else.
I am extremely satified that I've found it and I think if you're serious about obtaining a good domain name then give this a try.
You don't have to buy from the developer who designed this software but the prices they are offering is one of the lowest on the net. you cn't beat that now can you.

Cons
The text area displaying whois information shouldn't locked and could be made to alter it's size. Sorry it is movable. Great now that the flaws are fixed on the spot. :)
