Tips for finding available domain names.
Get smart with synonyms.
Try using variations of a word you want in your domain to get more options. For example, if you want a domain that includes the word mechanic, also type closely related words, like repair or automotive, into the search bar.
Mix up word combinations.
Let's take another look at that domain for mechanics. If you can't think of any catchy synonyms, you could still dream up a few word combinations that mean the same thing, like fix cars or auto shop.
Once you register a domain, take the next step.
With your ideas and creativity — and our domain name generator tool — you’ll have a great domain before you know it. But what comes next? Let’s take a look.
Use your domain as your brand name.
Once you have a domain you love, consider using it for your business name, if you don't have one already (tip: make sure you also set up social media usernames with your new brand name). If you'd rather start by searching for your business name first, we've still got your back. Take a look at our Business Name Generator.
Start building your brand.
Using your new domain for a website is a great idea — but keep going. With domain-based Professional Email, you establish greater credibility and reinforce your new brand with every message you send.
Domain Name Generator FAQ
How does the domain name generator work?
Based on the keywords you enter, the domain name generator creates unique combinations and produces several suggestions with different domain extensions. Our search tool also works as a domain checker, so it will never suggest a name that isn't actually available to register.
Our domain name generator is engineered by folks who have extensive experience in the domain field, and it is backed by the knowledge that GoDaddy, the world's largest domain name registrar, has accumulated over 20+ years of leadership in the industry.
How do I create a catchy domain name?
Here are some tips for crafting the perfect domain name:
- Keep it short, as shorter domains are easier for people to remember.
- Avoid numbers, hyphens, or any special characters that would be difficult for users to type or remember.
- Poll friends and family to get opinions on which one you should choose.
If you end up liking more than one domain, the smart move would be to register them all. That will let you take your time deciding without the risk of someone else swooping up the name you ultimately decide you want.
What are the best alternatives to a .com domain?
Today there are hundreds of extensions (called top-level domains or TLDs) in addition to the standard .com, .net, and .org. That means, if your domain name search doesn’t bring back a .com that you would like to use, you can still find the right domain name with one of the newer extensions.
Since TLDs can cater to specific niches and industries, these extensions might be better aligned with the startup or brand that you want to build. For example, there are TLDs for certain regions (.us, .ca, .co.uk, etc.) and different types of businesses (.club, .restaurant, .plumbing, etc.). But there are also TLDs that are general and can work as fun catch-alls for all kinds of websites (.xyz, .fyi, .wtf, etc).
While it never hurts to check domain availability for a .com, the variety of TLDs available provide you with a lot more options and the ability to get really creative. In fact, they could provide you with some of the best domain name ideas.
