how this domain generator works

  1. describe your app, site or side project in plain words, the way you would tell a friend. add who it is for and a vibe if you like.
  2. we write fifteen names in four styles, from plain to invented. --must keeps a word in every name, --avoid leaves words out.
  3. when you press run, we check every name and show the ones nobody had registered at that moment, plus the other extensions that were free for each.
  4. pick one and register it before you share it. if none fit, ask for more names. names you have already seen are left out.

four kinds of names it writes

direct
says what the product does
booking.com
hint
points at the result or the feeling
calm.com
image
borrows a picture people already know
amazon.com
abstract
a new word that is easy to say
kodak.com

each result is labeled with its kind, so you can see the range at a glance.

how to choose a domain name

  • short beats clever. a name under twelve letters is easier to type, say and remember.
  • say it out loud once. if you have to spell it for someone, they may mistype it.
  • skip hyphens and digits unless they are part of the name.
  • pick the extension early. the same word can be free on .dev or .app and taken on .com.
  • look at what others registered with your word lately. DomainKits lets you search 60 days of new registrations by keyword.

questions

is this domain generator free?
yes. you get five runs a day, no account needed. you pay only if you register a name, and that payment goes to the registrar.
what does "free" mean in the results?
that nobody had registered the name when we checked. registering it still costs the registrar's price.
which extensions can it search?
.com, .dev, .app, .ai, .io, .xyz, .net, .org, .pro and .online. you pick one before you run, and for each name we also list which of the other nine were free.
can a name be taken after you check it?
yes. anyone can register it at any moment, so confirm at the registrar before you pay.
can i start from a name that is already taken?
yes. type the domain as your idea, for example getflow.com, and you get names that keep what you liked about it.
