Details

Only TLDs, Force TLDs, Boost TLDs, and Remove TLDs require passing a list of TLDs. Each TLD must be separated by a comma. The parameters Only TLDs, Force TLDs, and Boost TLDs optionally support passing a TLD value, separated by a colon (“:”). If a value is not provided for a TLD, then Relevant Name Search will use default internal relevancy logic to determine the best rank for that TLD.

Warning

Providing a value of 0.0 is not recommended, as this is equivalent to not passing an optional TLD value at all. This means that if you provide a value of 0.0, then Relevant Name Search will use internal relevancy logic for calculating the best value of the TLD. If you desire to set the value of a TLD to the lowest possible number, then it is suggested to provide a value of 0.1.

Force TLDs ensures that at least one domain will be returned for the provided TLD(s). Additionally, the provided TLD value has a direct impact on the rank position of the domain in the search results. As a result, this parameter should only be used when you want to ensure that at least one domain for a given TLD has a consistent rank within the search results.
Example
com,net,org
com:1.0,net:0.95,org:0.90

Configure Boost TLD's if required. In case you do not wish to configure the Boost TLD's option, skip this step

Important

Boost TLDs allows you to influence the position of a TLD in the search results. By providing a static TLD value, the overall weight of domain suggestions for that TLD will be directly impacted in search results, affecting the overall rank of the domain.

Example

org.uk,net.uk,me.uk

org.uk:0.9,net.uk:0.89,me.uk:0.88
