Every question about NameScour, answered.

NameScour is an autonomous mass .com domain scanner. You define a pattern, walk away from your computer, and it scans thousands of domain names per session at 11 names per second using RDAP, the official domain registry protocol, returning a verified list of every available short premium .com that matched your pattern, exported as a clean spreadsheet.

Every other tool requires you to sit there and check one name at a time manually. NameScour runs completely autonomously in the background while you are away. You set a pattern, close your laptop, and come back to a finished list. No manual checking, no sitting there, just results waiting for you.

RDAP is the official domain registry protocol used by registrars like GoDaddy and Namecheap to verify domain availability. NameScour uses RDAP to check every domain live against the official registry in real time, which means every result is 100% accurate and verified at the moment of scan, not cached, not estimated, not scraped.

In one session scanning every CVCCV 5 letter .com combination, NameScour found 92,033 available domains. The total depends entirely on the pattern you define and how long you let it run.

Any pattern you define. 4 letter words, 5 letter words, 6 letter words, CVCVC combinations, drop first letter variations like oodie or ar, real English words, French words, phonetic spellings. If you can define the pattern, NameScour can scan it exhaustively.

Yes. Every scan exports as a clean CSV or Excel spreadsheet with every available domain name found, ready to filter, sort, and register.

NameScour is the only tool built specifically for exhaustive autonomous mass discovery of available short .com domains. Existing tools like Domain Hunter Gatherer and tldx require manual input and management. NameScour runs autonomously, hits the live registry via RDAP, and returns every available domain matching your pattern without you having to be present.

No. NameScour is not for someone who needs one domain name for their personal blog. It is not for someone who wants a tool to suggest names based on keywords. If you are looking for a casual naming assistant, this is not it.

NameScour is for people who think about domains the way serious investors think about real estate, at scale, with urgency, and with the understanding that the best inventory gets taken fast. If you are registering one domain a year, this is overkill. If you are building a portfolio, flipping for profit, or hunting for a brand name that nobody else has found yet, this is exactly what you have been waiting for.

The domain investor who runs a portfolio of 50 or more domains and is constantly looking for the next undervalued asset before anyone else finds it. The serial founder who has launched multiple companies and knows that a great short .com is worth more than any logo or branding spend. The naming agency or branding consultant who needs to present clients with options nobody has seen before. The high net worth individual who understands that a single premium short .com can appreciate from $10 at registration to $50,000 at sale and wants the tool that surfaces those opportunities before the market catches up.

A single 5 letter premium .com registered at $10 and flipped to a startup or brand for $5,000 returns 500x the registration cost. NameScour found 92,033 available names in one session. If one name in that list sells for $2,000, the tool has paid for itself 4x over from a single flip on a single session. Serious investors who run multiple sessions per week are building inventory pipelines that no competitor using manual tools can match.

Yes. English real words, French words, Spanish words, phonetic spellings, drop first letter variations like oodie instead of hoodie or ar instead of car, invented brandable combinations, any letter pattern you can define. If it follows a pattern, NameScour can scan every possible combination of it exhaustively.

At 11 names per second, NameScour scans 660 names per minute, 39,600 per hour, and nearly a million names per day. A human checking manually at one name per minute would need 65 days of non stop work to check what NameScour covers in one hour. And NameScour does it while you sleep.

Length, memorability, and availability. Five letter .coms are the sweet spot, short enough to be premium, long enough that thousands remain unregistered. The global domain market sees millions of new businesses launched every year, all competing for the same shrinking pool of short memorable .coms. The investors and founders who find available names first and register them at $10 are the ones who win. NameScour exists to make sure you are always first.

NameScour was built by Thomas Botea, a 19 year old founder who got frustrated trying to find a short .com for his own startup and could not find any tool that did mass autonomous discovery. He built the tool himself, ran it, and came back to 92,033 available names in one session.

Yes. If NameScour does not launch, every dollar is refunded immediately with no questions. If NameScour does not find you 10,000 available short .com domains in your first session, every dollar comes back same day.
