Name ideas
“Free” is our best guess from the registry and DNS. The store confirms it, and shows the price, when you search the name there. Store links are plain links, not affiliate links.

How it works
- Type your project’s name, or a few words about it, like
tiny invoice. - We check your name on .com, .dev, .app, .io, .ai and .co, and come up with ideas (get-, try-, -app, -hq and short blends) checked the same way. Green is free, grey is taken.
- Tap a green name and buy it at Cloudflare, Namecheap or Porkbun. Then point it at your app and check it with the domain checker.
Questions
How do you know a domain is free?
We ask the registry that runs each ending (like Verisign for .com and Google for .dev and .app) through RDAP, the public lookup that replaced WHOIS. If the registry has no record of the name, it’s almost always free. We also look it up in DNS, so a name that already has a website shows as taken even if the registry is slow to answer.
Why does it say “Available” is a best guess?
A few names have no record but still can’t be bought for the normal price: registries hold back some short or premium names, and a name someone just let expire can sit in a grace period for a few weeks. The store tells you for sure, and shows the price, when you search the name there.
What does “Probably free” mean?
The name has no website or DNS, but the registry didn’t answer in time. It’s very likely free. Search it at a store to be sure.
Which ending should I pick?
.com is still the one people type without thinking, so grab it if it’s free. .dev and .app suit software and force https, which is good. .ai and .io are popular for startups but cost more each year. .co is short but easy to mistype as .com.
Where should I buy it?
Cloudflare sells domains at cost with no markup, which makes renewals cheap, and works well if your site is on Cloudflare. Namecheap and Porkbun are simple and often have a cheaper first year. The links here are plain links: we get nothing if you buy.
Do you save the names I search?
No. The names are sent to our server only to ask the registries, and we don’t keep a list of searches. Some people worry that searching a name tips off domain squatters; RDAP and DNS lookups don’t reserve or register anything.
