dns·check — live

Is this domain available?

A free domain availability checker and name generator. Type any word and we'll find 10 domains you can actually register — mixing in smart prefixes and suffixes when your word is taken.

Check several at once — separate them with spaces or commas, e.g. agently agentflow getagent

Enter a word and we'll surface 10 available domains for you.

Check a domain and get 10 available name ideas

Type the word you have in mind, pick the extensions you want (like .com, .io, or .ai), and hit Find 10 available. The tool reads each domain's live DNS records in real time, and if your exact word is taken it automatically tries brandable variations — common prefixes like get, try, use and my, and suffixes like -ly, -ify, -hub and -app — until it has surfaced ten domains you can actually register, each with a direct link to claim it.

Everything happens in your browser. There's no signup, no API key, and no limit on how many names you check.

Which domain extension should you choose?

.com

The default for most businesses — trusted, memorable, and the one people type by habit.

.io

A favorite among startups, SaaS, and developer tools. Short and tech-forward.

.ai

The go-to for AI products and agents. In high demand, so move fast when one is free.

.co

A clean .com alternative that still reads as a real company name.

.app / .dev

Great for apps and engineering projects; HTTPS is required, which signals quality.

.xyz

Cheap and flexible — popular for modern brands willing to be a little different.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if a domain name is available?

Enter the name, choose your extensions, and the tool checks the live DNS for each domain. No records usually means the name is unregistered and free to claim.

Is it free to check domain availability?

Yes — completely free, no account, no API key, and no usage limits. It runs entirely in your browser.

What if my exact domain name is already taken?

The tool keeps going. It adds brandable prefixes and suffixes to your word — like getname.com, tryname.io or namely.app — and checks each one until it finds ten available domains related to what you typed.

Can I register a domain here?

Not directly. This is a checker. When a domain is available, it links you to a registrar where you can finish the registration.

Why does a domain show as available but I can't register it?

Some names are premium, reserved, or were just registered without DNS set up yet. DNS checks are highly reliable but not a legal guarantee — always confirm at a registrar before paying.

What is the best domain extension — .com, .io, or .ai?

.com is still the safest, most trusted choice. .io and .ai are popular with startups and AI products. Pick what your audience will recognize and type correctly.

How it works: this tool inspects a domain's DNS records. If none exist, it's marked available. That's a very reliable signal, but not a guarantee — a freshly registered domain with no DNS, or a premium/reserved name, can still appear free. Always confirm at a registrar before you buy.
