A domain hack uses the extension as part of the word: instagr.am, youtu.be, del.icio.us. They make memorable short links and playful brands. Type a word and the finder checks it against every top-level domain in the root zone — refreshed daily from IANA — to show each valid hack.
How to use the Domain Hack Finder

- Press Find hacks.

How it works
For every live TLD, we check whether the word ends with it and leaves at least two characters in front. We also try splitting at subdomain positions (for example del.icio.us) for very short words.
When to use it
- Short links for a brand
- Creative campaign domains
- Memorable personal sites
Pro tips
- Many ccTLDs used for hacks have local presence rules — check before buying.
- Hacks are great for short links but most businesses still need the matching .com.
