Frequently Asked Questions
What is a domain name?
A domain name is the address you type into your web browser to visit a website, like "instantdomainsearch.com." It's a unique name that identifies a website on the internet, making it easy for people to find and remember. Just like your home address helps people find where you live, a domain name helps people find your website. You can use our domain search tool to find available domains.

What if the domain name I want is already taken?
If the domain name you want is already taken, you still have a few options:
- Try a different extension: If "example.com" is taken, check if "example.net," "example.org," or other TLDs are available. See the full list of available extensions here.
- Use a Variation: Add a word, hyphen, or change the order of words to create a variation of your desired domain name. Our Domain Name Generator can suggest similar available domains. Our premium domain search tool can also help you find similar, high performing domains.
- Reach out to the owner: Sometimes, the current owner of the domain might be willing to sell it. You can often find out by visiting the domain or using our WHOIS LookUp tool to find the owner.
How do I check if a domain name is available?
Use our domain availability search tool to instantly see if a domain name is available. Simply type the name you want, and you'll get real-time results for different extensions (like ".com" or ".net") and alternative suggestions.
What are extensions and TLDs, and which one should I choose?
A TLD (Top-Level Domain) is the part of a domain name that comes after the dot, like ".com" or ".org." .com is the most common, but many others, such as ".net" or industry-specific extensions like ".tech" or ".shop," are available. You can use our domain extension tool to explore different TLD options.
