Questions? Answered.
Everything people ask before searching for their first domain.
Is DomainFinch really free?
Yes. Searching, generating names, WHOIS lookups, bulk checks, logos and downloads are all free with no account. We may earn a commission when you buy a domain through a partner registrar, at no extra cost to you.
How do I check if a domain name is available?
Type it into the search box. DomainFinch runs a DNS lookup for an instant signal, then confirms with the official registry (RDAP), across .com and 30+ other extensions at once.
Do you save or sell my searches?
No. Lookups go straight from your browser to public DNS and registry servers. Your shortlist and history are stored only on your device.
Can I describe my idea instead of typing a domain?
Yes. Type a sentence like "eco friendly dog treats delivered monthly". We extract the key ideas and generate hundreds of names, each checked live.
What if the domain I want is taken?
Open it to see the registrar and expiry date, add a calendar reminder, or make an offer through a marketplace. We also show similar names you can register right now.
Which domain extension is best?
.com is the safest default. .io and .ai are popular in tech, .co with startups, and country codes like .in, .uk or .de signal a local business. Compare them side by side in our extension comparisons.
