I was interested a while back in finding short (5 or 6 letter) .com domains still available. Wrote a little script to do a bulk check at Godaddy.

There are a few variables you can alter in my script:

- pre: any text BEFORE the consonant-vowel-consonant string

- suf: any text AFTER the string

- ext: the domain name extension (defaults to .com if left blank)

- max: the maximum number of domain name results (starting at a random character)

Since GoDaddy limits the bulk check to 500, the quickest way to do a domain check is to run the script setting the max at 500, then just copy and paste the result in the bulk domain lookup.

Couple different examples:

Paste the result in the Godaddy bulk check at http://www.godaddy.com/domains/searchbulk.aspx
