This is great! It's like a box of chocolates. Cool idea Travis.

Want to collaborate on the "Battle of Startup Domains" idea?

Are you sure that namecheap.com doesnt automagically register the domain and then try to charge you a higher rate?

I know that Network Solutions does that, but I don't think namecheap.com does that. I hit one domain a few times while testing and it was always available.

Apparently people are buying them. Within the last 10 minutes 2 that I was looking at were snagged. :)

That's awesome! I'm going to work on a script that will scrub the array of domains that are already registered. That way, you should always be able to generate an available domain.
