Typosquatters register misspellings of popular brands to catch mistyped traffic or phish customers. This tool is for brand owners: it generates the common variants of your domain and checks which ones are registered, so you can monitor them, defensively register the important ones or act against abusive ones.
How to use the Typo Domain Generator
- Enter your brand domain.
- Choose variant types.
- Press Generate, then Check registered to test DNS for each variant.
How it works
Variants include omission, repetition, transposition, adjacent-key replacement, vowel swaps, hyphenation, homoglyphs (look-alike characters), the 'www' prefix without a dot and popular alternative extensions. Registration is checked through DNS.
When to use it
- Brand protection audits
- Choosing defensive registrations
- Gathering evidence for a UDRP complaint
Pro tips
- Defensively register the two or three most likely typos, not hundreds.
- Use a monitoring service for ongoing alerts on large brands.
