.com domain name checker
Since the mid-1980s, .com has been where people assume a business lives. It's the extension most people type without thinking. That makes it the safest choice and also the most crowded: almost every short, dictionary-word .com is registered, and many sit with investors.
Type the full domain, like yourname.com. You’ll also see the same name across 100+ other TLDs.
.com at a glance

- Best for
- Anyone, anywhere
- How we check
- Registry RDAP. ICANN requires generic TLD registries to publish registration data, so answers come from the source.
Worth knowing
- Run by Verisign. As a generic TLD it publishes registration data over RDAP, so AvailableWhois's answer comes from the registry itself.
- A taken .com with no website is normal. It may be parked, held by an investor, or reserved by a brand.
- If the exact name is gone, a short prefix or suffix (get-, try-, -hq, -app) is the usual workaround.
