Domain name search that shows real availability and real pricing
Most domain searches optimize for upsells. This one optimizes for a decision: is the name available, what does it cost this year, what does it cost every year after, and what should you take instead if it is gone.
How the search works
Enter a name with or without an extension. DomainsDepot queries live registry availability rather than a cached list, then prices each result against the current registry fee. Results appear as they resolve, so a wide multi-extension search does not block on the slowest registry.
- Live availability from the registry at query time
- Registration and renewal price on every result
- Premium registry names labelled clearly, never buried in checkout
When your first choice is taken
Nearly every short, obvious .com is registered. Rather than dead-ending, the search surfaces workable alternates: the same name on a different extension, a prefixed or suffixed variant, and AI-generated brandable options that are checked for availability before they are shown.
- Alternate extensions priced side by side
- AI Domain Advisor suggestions filtered to available names
- Watch list monitoring for names you cannot replace
Check the brand, not just the domain
A domain is only half a brand. From any search result you can check whether the matching handle is free on the major social platforms, including X, Instagram, GitHub, YouTube, and TikTok, and edit the handle variant you actually want to test.
From search to owned in one flow
Add results to a cart, review the full first-year and renewal cost, and check out with a card or an organization payment method. Registration happens automatically on payment, and the domain appears in your dashboard with DNS and auto-renew controls immediately.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the availability check live?
- Yes. Each result is checked against registry data at the time of the search rather than served from a stale index, which is why an occasional result resolves a second or two after the rest.
- Do you front-run searches?
- No. Searching a name on DomainsDepot never registers it, reserves it, or shares it with a third party for speculation.
- Can I search many extensions at once?
- Yes. The extensions catalog lets you enter one name and see availability and pricing across the full supported list, filtered by category such as technology, commerce, or country codes.
