DomainsBot is the major provider of semantic based services to the domain industry.[1] They are industry leaders known for their unique and effective search technologies, domain name suggestion systems, and classification services which are utilized by other prominent registrars, like GoDaddy, Tucows, eNom, 1&1, Directi, Sedo, and others. Sedo became a minority investor in 2008.[2]
History[edit | edit source]
DomainsBot was launched in 1999 by two life-long friends, Daniel Ruzzini Mejia and Max Ralli, when they were still university students. The project began under the name, "Local Whois", and focused mainly on expiring domains. In 2002, they took over the DomainsBot enterprise.[3] In 2004, it began to integrate the semantic search engine, which it is know well-known for, and in 2008 Sedo invested in the venture.[4] While their semantic search engine has always been at the fore of the industry, it has also undergone improvements and optimization processes since its inception, most notably in 2007. The new version included improved self-learning capabilities, and new tools for user interaction, such as those that address aftermarket domains and suggested alternatives.[5]
On January 24th 2011, DomainsBot Inc, a DomainsBot Srl owned company, started operations in San Francisco, CA.
Services[edit | edit source]
DomainsBot focuses on helping its customers find an ideal and available domain name from the primary and secondary domain markets. Their semantic search technology works with multi-language name proposition software and other domain analysis systems.[2] They offer supplementary services such as as a typo generator, which determines possible targets for cybersquatting and graphic brainstorming tools, among others.[6]
In 2010, DomainsBot Domain Suggestion was responsible for more than 600,000 domain registrations.[1]
In July 2012, DomainsBot introduced a Domain Suggestion Developer API; that is, their Domain Suggestion service, which heretofore had been largely available to major registrars, became available as a REST API with client code available in C#, PHP or Java and via a simple-to-implement copy and paste widget (JQuery plugin). Their domain suggestion service was responsible for 1.5 million domain registrations in the previous 12 months. The Director of OpenSRS Product Management, Adam Eisnter, which has been using the DomainsBot service since 2006, noted that the service was responsible for 10% of their total domain registration.[7]
In 2015 DomainsBot launched a new analytics service for the domain industry: DomainsBot Pandalytics
Services for New gTLDs[edit | edit source]
In July 2013, DomainBot announced new services that would capitalize on the New gTLD Program and make the selling of new gTLDs easier. This service would function similarly to their current name proposition software, but would suggest new gTLDs paired with the customer's input word.[8]
Affiliations[edit | edit source]
Domainsbot has deals with major companies, such as SEDO, to provide their customers with a searchable database of domains for sale. They work with over 100 registrars, which the customers are able to rate with regards to ease, price, service, and offerings.

They have such a deal with 8 of the world's top 10 registrars.[7]
