How to check if a website name is available

A website name is only really yours when the domain is. This website name checker takes the name you have in mind and looks it up as a .com and across 100+ other extensions, using the official registries and a DNS double-check so a site that's already registered never shows as free. It groups the results so you can compare .com, tech, business and creator extensions side by side, and every available domain links straight to registration at Namecheap. Before you commit, check the same name on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube so your website and socials match.

Your website name is the brand people remember; the domain is the address they type. For most sites the best website name is one where the matching domain, ideally the .com, is available.

Add a short word that keeps it recognisable (get, try, hq, app), pick a strong alternative like .co, .io or .ai, or choose a descriptive extension like .studio or .shop.

Yes. Open the name in the username checker to see Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, GitHub and more alongside the domains.

What makes a good website name

The best website names are short, easy to say and easy to spell after hearing them once. Aim for one or two real words, avoid hyphens and numbers, and make sure the name still makes sense if your site grows beyond its first idea. Most importantly, the domain has to be available, because a website name you can't register isn't really a website name.

Check the .com first, then the alternatives

Visitors still type .com by default, so check it first. If it's taken, don't settle for an awkward spelling. A well-chosen alternative often works better: .co and .io for startups, .ai for AI products, .shop or .store for ecommerce, .studio or .design for creatives, and .blog for writers. Our domain search checks all of these at once.

Make sure the name isn't someone else's brand

Before you build a site, search the name online and check your country's trademark database. A name that's already a registered trademark in your industry can lead to a forced rebrand later. Checking early costs minutes; changing your website name after launch costs traffic, links and customers.

Match your website to your social handles

Your website name works hardest when it matches your Instagram, TikTok and YouTube handles. People who find you on one channel can find you everywhere else without guessing. After checking the domain, run the same name through the username checker and claim the handles on the same day you register.
