While trying to register a domain name last year I [1977] found that many of the common english words were no longer available. I decided to do an exhaustive search of all 21,000 words in an electronic dictionary to see which domains names were still available. So I wrote a script which checks each word for a .com address. I've rerun the script several times since then and the latest run (which started on Sat Jul 25 00:00:38 PDT 1998) is attached.

I don't remember where the dictionary I used came from, nor do I know why it contains such words as zorkmid.

If a domain is listed as "On hold" it means that the renewal fee has not been paid and the domain may soon become available (or it might mean that Internic has made a mistake and incorrectly credited a payment, which they apparently do regularly).

If you are interested in seeing all the english word domain names that have changed status between the most recent Saturday and the one before it I maintain a listing of those as well.

Also, because of the sloppy method I used to generate this list there are doubtless errors.
