Tips for finding a great domain
Updated June 4, 2026
The best domain is short, easy to say out loud, and easy to spell. If your ideal .com is taken, you still have good options.
- Keep it brief — fewer characters are easier to remember and type.
- Avoid hyphens and numbers where you can; they are easy to mishear.
- Try a relevant alternative extension such as .io, .co, .ai, or .dev.
- Use our search suggestions — when a name is taken we surface available alternatives automatically.
Not sure if a name is taken? Use our WHOIS lookup to check a specific domain's status and details.
