# How to Search Domain Variations with ChatGPT

ChatGPT turns domain search into a structured brainstorming session with clear recommendations and strategic reasoning. It can generate creative name variations, rank available options by brand potential and memorability, and produce a shortlist report with pros and cons for each candidate. Ideal for founders and brand teams who need to evaluate domain options thoughtfully and present the top choices to stakeholders with supporting rationale.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Configure ToolRouter in ChatGPT
2. Ask: "My preferred domain is taken. Search for variations" and provide the name
3. ChatGPT generates and checks multiple variations
4. Request: "Rank these options by memorability and brand potential"
5. Register the best available option

## Example Prompt

```
I wanted "cloudstack.com" but it is taken. Find me available variations -- try prefixes, suffixes, alternative TLDs, and creative alternatives.
```

## Tips

- ChatGPT can brainstorm creative name variations beyond mechanical prefixes
- Ask for a pros/cons analysis of each available variation
- Request suggestions that are easy to spell and pronounce
