How to use:

ruby domainblob.rb insert_cool_word_here

2 Methods --- Command-line Arguments or Text File

Command-Line Args:

1. When you run the script, with ruby domainblob.rb insert_cool_word_here then it will use your root phrase to check over 5,000 potential domain names for availability.
2. Sit tight, it takes about 1 second per domain check. This amounts to somewhere between an hour and 2 for an entire batch to run.
3. When it is done, it will create a text document named after the phrase you used as your seed - followed by the number found to be available. It will put this result file into your newly created 'blobs' folder. Example: blobs/Tech30.txt

Text File:

1. Create a txt document named totalPhraseList.txt in the same directory as the script
2. The script will process each line of the totalPhraseList.txt document, so put one seed word per each line and they will be run right after another.
3. When you run the script, with ruby domainblob.rb then it will use your root phrase to check a couple hundred potential domain names for availability.
4. Sit tight.
5. When it is done, it will create a text document named after the phrase you used as your seed - followed by the number of domains found. Example: blobs/Tech30.txt

How Long Does it Take?

It takes a while. We do not use the RegEx & Zone File method for finding domain name availability. While that would be fastest, I do not have Zone File Access and even if I did -- I would not be allowed to distribute that Zone File.
