Is the name you want still free?
Type a name and we will check it across the endings Indian businesses actually buy. The answer comes from the registries’ own records — not from a sales page.
Check a name
The check runs inside your browser and asks the registry directly, using RDAP — the public lookup service that replaced WHOIS. Nothing is sent to this website, so there is no list here of what anyone searched for.
What the three answers mean
Looks free
No registration exists for that name today. That is the registry’s own answer, and it is the strongest signal available — but see the caution below before you plan around it.
Registered
Somebody holds it. Where the registry publishes them, we also show which registrar it sits with and when it comes up for renewal, which is useful if the name is yours and you had lost track of it.
Could not check
The registry did not answer in time, or that ending is not one we can query. It is not a yes and not a no. Try again, or ask us.
“Looks free” is not the same as “you can buy it for the standard price.” A name can be unregistered and still be reserved by the registry, held back as a premium name with a much higher price, or blocked because it is too close to a protected term. We confirm what a name will actually cost before you commit to it, and we will tell you when a name is not worth what is being asked.
Picking a name you will not regret
Say it out loud on a phone call
If you have to spell it every time, it will cost you enquiries every week. Hyphens and digits are the usual culprits.
Take .in and .com together where you can
Indian customers type both out of habit. Holding the pair costs little and stops somebody else trading on your name later.
Match the business, not the moment
A name built around one product or one town ages badly when the business grows.
Check the name is not already somebody’s mark
A domain being free is not permission to use it. If the name belongs to another company as a brand, registering it invites a dispute you will lose.
When you have found one
We register domains, point them where they need to go, set up the DNS and email records, and handle renewals so a name does not lapse quietly. The registration goes in the business’s own name with the business’s own details — the domain is yours, and it stays yours whoever does the work.
More on that in hosting solutions.
Frequently asked questions
Where does the answer come from?
From RDAP, the registries’ own public lookup service. It is the same source a registrar checks against.
Do you keep the names I search for?
No. The check happens in your browser and talks to the registry directly. This site’s server is not involved, so there is nothing here to keep.
Will searching here cause the name to be taken?
Not through us — we do not pass searches to anyone. The wider concern about searches leaking is a real one in the industry, which is exactly why this check does not send your name to our server or to a reseller.
It says free, but the registrar says it is taken. Why?
Usually a premium or reserved name, or one registered in the minutes between the two checks. Registry records are also allowed a short delay after a change.
Do you check every ending?
No. The check covers the endings Indian businesses usually buy. Ask us about anything else and we will look it up.
Can you move a domain we registered somewhere else?
Yes, subject to the usual transfer rules — the name must be unlocked, out of its first sixty days, and you need the authorisation code from the current registrar.
Found the name? Or stuck?
Tell us the name you want. We will confirm what it really costs, register it in your business’s name, and set up the website and email records around it.
