Host Name generator

The Host Name generator creates strings that simulate domain names typically used in networking or internet environments, following standard hostname conventions, such as maximum length, allowed characters, and domain structure. This tool is particularly useful for testing systems involving DNS resolution, web server configurations, or any application handling hostnames.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Short name	Example of generated data	Data type matching	Country-specific
Host Name	forititome.net, uldle.biz, neleand.ua, butwitstuld.ca, …	character varying character text	Default

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column that matches any of the following rules:

• The column name starts with ‘host’ and ends with ‘name’, with any or no characters in between, regardless of the table name.
• The column name starts with ‘smtp’ and ends with ‘server’, with any or no characters in between, regardless of the table name.
• The column name is ‘domain’, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional settings

The generator produces data based on a regular expression. Since it is built on the RegExp generator, see Regular Expression generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.
