Domain Name Search FAQs
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 identifies a website on the internet, making it easy for people to find and remember. Like your home address helps people find where you live, a domain name helps people find your website. Our domain search tool helps you find available domains.
Why use Instant Domain Search?
Our free domain name search delivers the fastest search results on the internet. As you type, our tool shows available domains in less than 25 milliseconds using powerful AI and instant search infrastructure. With every query, you see available extensions, suggested similar domains, and premium domains to boost your website performance. You also gain access to a suite of features including price history, WHOIS lookup, estimated value, pronunciation, and where to buy it for the cheapest price.
What if the domain name I want is already taken?
If someone already owns the domain name you want, you still have several options:
- Try a different extension: if someone owns "example.com," check if "example.net," "example.org," or other TLDs remain available. See the full list of available extensions.
- Create 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 suggests similar available domains. Our premium domain search tool also helps you find similar, high-performing domains.
- Contact the owner: the current owner might sell their domain. You can often find owner information by visiting the domain or using our WHOIS LookUp tool to locate the owner.
How do I check if a domain name is available?
Use our domain name search tool to see if a domain name is available. Type the name you want, and you'll receive real-time results with instant checking 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) represents the part of a domain name that comes after the dot, like ".com" or ".org." The .com extension ranks as the most common, but many others, such as ".net" or industry-specific extensions like ".tech" or ".shop," offer great alternatives. Our domain extension tool helps you explore different TLD options.
How do I buy a domain?
Once you find an available domain using our domain finder, click to purchase through one of our trusted partners. You'll see pricing, purchase options, and other ways to use the domain.
