A free domain availability checker that looks up a name on 12 endings at once, straight from each registry.
5.0(1 rating)Type a name. I check it on the endings people look for first, from .com to .ai, and the usual ways round a taken .com.
The name you want is only as good as the domain you can get. Checking 12 endings one by one takes a while.
This free domain availability checker looks up a name on the 12 endings people look for first, from .com to .ai, straight from each registry.
If the .com is taken, it checks the usual ways round it too, like get- and -hq.
What is a domain availability checker?
A domain availability checker is a tool that looks up whether a domain name is registered.
Mine asks each ending's registry directly, so a "free" answer comes from the people who run that ending.
How to check a domain name
What the answers mean
- Free – the registry has no record of it. A registry can still hold a name back as reserved or premium, so the registrar's search has the last word.
- Registered – someone has it.
- Likely free – the ending has no public registry lookup, and its DNS says the name doesn't exist. Double-check at a registrar.
The endings I check
.com, .io, .ai, .co, .net, .org, .app, .dev, .me, .xyz, .shop and .store.
If the .com is taken
Startups often add a short word: get-, try-, use-, join- or hello- before the name, or -hq, -app, -labs, -studio or -co after it. I check each of those as a .com.
Where to buy a domain for less

Prices are in US dollars with the ICANN fee. A premium name costs more, and the registrar's search shows its price.
I keep my domains at Cloudflare. It sells at cost with no markup, so its renewal is one of the lowest for most endings.
When another registrar is cheaper for the first year, like Spaceship, I buy it there and move it to Cloudflare later. That's what works for me, so check the renewal price wherever you buy.
- The 60 days – a domain can move to another registrar 60 days after you register it, an ICANN rule.
- The move – moving a .com, .net or .org adds a year at the new registrar's price.
- Cloudflare's DNS – a domain at Cloudflare uses Cloudflare's DNS.
Name it, then check it
