Reading the Domain availability check

The domain check shows you, in real time, which web addresses for your name are open and which are already taken.
It checks availability across a range of extensions — .com, .ai, .io, .app, and more — and marks each as Available or Taken. This matters because the right domain shapes how people find and trust your brand.
A few things to keep in mind as you read it:
Use this check together with the social handle check — ideally you want a name where the domain and the handles line up.

A few things to keep in mind as you read it:
- A taken .com isn't a dealbreaker. It's very common for .com to be gone while .ai, .io, or .co are wide open — especially for tech and startup brands.
- Availability changes fast. Domains are first-come, first-served, so if a name you love shows an open domain, it's worth securing promptly.
- Look at the whole set, not one extension. A name with several open, credible extensions gives you more flexibility than one with only an obscure one left.
