Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Domain Name Suggestion Tool?

The Domain Name Suggestion Tool is a free online tool that generate creative domain name ideas from your keywords and check availability across multiple tlds. It runs entirely in your browser with no installation or sign-up needed.

How does availability checking work?

Uses DNS SOA record queries — if no record exists (NXDOMAIN), the domain is likely available.

Which TLDs does it check?

.com, .net, .org, .io, .co, .app, and .dev.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free.

Is my data safe with this tool?

Absolutely. The Domain Name Suggestion Tool processes everything client-side in your browser. No data is uploaded to or stored on any server. Your content remains private on your device at all times.

Does the Domain Name Suggestion Tool work on mobile devices?

Yes, the Domain Name Suggestion Tool is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. You can use it on any device with a modern web browser -- no app download required.

Do I need to create an account to use this tool?

No account or registration is needed. Simply open the Domain Name Suggestion Tool in your browser and start using it immediately. There are no sign-up walls or usage restrictions.

How do I use the Domain Name Suggestion Tool?

Simply enter your input in the provided field, adjust any settings to your preference, and the tool will process it instantly. You can then copy the result to your clipboard or download it.

Which browsers are supported?

The Domain Name Suggestion Tool works in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. For the best experience, use the latest version of your preferred browser.

Why does a domain show as available here but is taken at the registrar?

This tool estimates availability by asking Cloudflare's DNS resolver for each name's SOA record. If the resolver returns NXDOMAIN, meaning no such domain exists in the global DNS, the name is marked Available. The catch is that a domain can be registered yet have no active DNS zone — someone may own it for parking, resale, or a future launch without ever publishing records. In that case the DNS lookup sees nothing and reports it as free even though you cannot buy it. Premium, reserved, and recently expired names can behave the same way. That is why DNS checking is a fast shortlisting estimate, not a purchase guarantee. Use the tool to narrow hundreds of ideas down to a handful of promising candidates, then always confirm the exact name at a registrar before you commit money to it.

How many domain names can this tool generate from one keyword?

From a single keyword the tool builds 25 base names: your bare keyword plus 24 short startup-style suffix blends such as hub, hq, pro, labs, ai, ly, cloud, get, try, go, now, space, and smart. Each of those names is then paired with every TLD you have selected, so the total candidate count is 25 multiplied by the number of extensions you toggle on. With the three default extensions (.com, .net, .io) that is 75 domains in one run, and selecting all seven supported TLDs produces 175 candidates checked back to back. This mirrors how real product names form — a recognizable root plus a modern modifier — so even when the plain .com is long gone, a blend is often still open. Enter a keyword, pick your extensions, and generate a full batch in seconds.

What does the 'Unknown' status mean on a suggested domain?

Each candidate gets one of three labels: Available, Taken, or Unknown. Available means the DNS query returned NXDOMAIN, so no record exists and the name is likely free. Taken means an SOA record was found, so the domain already has an active DNS zone. Unknown appears when the lookup itself fails — for example a network hiccup, a timeout, or an unexpected resolver response — so the tool genuinely cannot tell either way rather than guessing. An Unknown result is not the same as Taken; it simply means that particular check did not complete. If you see several Unknowns, re-running the keyword usually resolves them, since the queries are sent one by one. Treat Unknown names as worth a manual look at a registrar if you like them. Generate again to retry any that did not return a clean answer.

Should I choose a .com, .io, or .co domain for my startup?

It depends on your audience, but a few conventions hold up well. The .com extension is still the most trusted and the easiest for people to type from memory, so claim it whenever it is available. When the .com is gone, .io and .co are the popular fallbacks for tech and SaaS brands because they read as modern and are widely recognized. The .app and .dev extensions are run by Google and served over HTTPS only, which suits product and developer projects, while .org traditionally signals nonprofits, communities, and open-source work. This tool lets you check all seven — .com, .net, .org, .io, .co, .app, and .dev — and toggle any combination before generating. Turn on the extensions that fit your project, run your keyword, and compare which blends are open across each one side by side.

Why are special characters and spaces stripped from my keyword?

Before generating ideas, the tool sanitizes your keyword locally and keeps only letters and digits, lowercasing everything in the process. So an entry like "My Cafe!" becomes "mycafe" and "go-fast 2" becomes "gofast2". This happens because the registrable part of a domain name cannot contain spaces, punctuation, or most symbols — only letters, numbers, and hyphens are valid, and the tool builds clean single-word roots to blend with its suffixes. Stripping these characters up front means every candidate it produces is a name you could actually register, rather than something a registrar would reject. It also keeps suggestions short and brandable, which matters for memorability. If you want a hyphenated or multi-word idea, generate from the core word first, then adapt the favorites you copy. Type any phrase and the tool turns it into usable roots automatically.

About the Domain Name Suggestion Tool

The Domain Name Suggestion Tool turns a single keyword into a list of brandable domain ideas and tells you, in real time, which ones are likely still free to register. Type a word like acme, synth, or nova, pick the extensions you care about, and the tool builds dozens of variations and checks each one against the live DNS system. It is built for founders naming a startup, marketers launching a microsite, developers parking a side project, and anyone who has spent twenty minutes watching a registrar reject every name they liked.

Most of the work happens in your browser. The keyword you type is sanitized locally (only letters and digits are kept) and the variations are generated on your device — there is no account, no sign-up, and no usage cap. The one thing that does leave your browser is each candidate domain, which is sent to Cloudflare's public DNS resolver to check whether it already exists. Your keyword and the names you generate are not stored on our servers.

How the suggestions are generated

Rather than relying on a thesaurus, the tool combines your keyword with a curated set of 24 short, startup-friendly suffixes — words and particles like hub, hq, pro, labs, ai, ly, cloud, get, try, go, now, space, and smart. It also tests the bare keyword on its own. Each resulting name is then paired with every domain extension you have selected, so one keyword can easily produce 100-plus candidate domains in a single run.

  • The bare keyword (for example, nova.com)
  • Keyword + suffix blends (for example, novahq.io, novalabs.co, novacloud.app)
  • Every combination is checked across each extension you choose

This pattern mirrors how real product names are built: a recognizable root plus a modern modifier that is short, easy to say, and often still available even when the plain .com is long gone.

Choosing the right extensions

You can check seven top-level domains (TLDs): .com, .net, .org, .io, .co, .app, and .dev. By default the tool looks at .com, .net, and .io, but you can toggle any combination on or off before generating. A few quick guidelines:

  • .com is still the most trusted and most type-in-friendly extension — claim it if you can.
  • .io and .co are popular fallbacks for tech and SaaS brands when the .com is taken.
  • .app and .dev are run by Google and are served over HTTPS only, which suits product and developer projects.
  • .org traditionally signals nonprofits, communities, and open-source work.

How availability checking works

For every candidate, the tool sends a DNS query for the domain's SOA (Start of Authority) record to Cloudflare's resolver. If the resolver responds with NXDOMAIN — meaning no such domain exists in the global DNS — the name is marked Available. If an SOA record is found, the name is shown as Taken, and any query that fails returns Unknown. A running count of likely-available names and a one-click copy button on each free domain make it easy to grab the ones you like.

This DNS method is fast and free, but it is an estimate, not a purchase guarantee. A domain can be registered yet have no active DNS zone, and premium or reserved names may read as available while still being unbuyable. Always confirm the exact name at a registrar before you commit — the tool is the fastest way to shortlist candidates, and the registrar is where you lock one in. Generate a batch, copy your favorites, and run a fresh keyword whenever you want a new angle.
