Choosing a domain name for a website is often a difficult task. Almost any word in the entire English language is already used or already registered for another user. Manually searching for the perfect domain name in a browser is very difficult and the results might not be accurate.

This problem could be easily addressed by a simple application simple called “Findname”. As the name of the application suggests, the tool is used to check if the proposed domain name is already registered. The application is practically a small “whois” application.

The interface is very easy to use. The application comes with three columns – the left panel is where you place your preferred domain name, the center panel is where you’ll see the search results and the right panel provides additional information about the search results. Although the default language is in Chinese, the application is very simple and enough to be understood.

The search results will provide eight different types of TLD (top level domains). This will give you more than enough options of domain names and see which ones are available. You could even suggest numbers and letters and the application will provide variation of results as suggestions.

Bulk inquiry is also possible with the application. The lower-right side panel of the application allows users to upload text files for batch search. The search results could also be exported as a text file. The application is less than 300kb in size which eases the installation and its use will yield very minimal footprint.
