How this is paid for
A tool that tells you a name is taken has no reason to flatter you. One that earns a commission when you register a domain does. Here is exactly what pays for this site, stated plainly, so you can weigh what you read.
This site currently carries no advertising and no affiliate links, and earns nothing from your visit. It is run at its own cost. If that changes, this page changes first and says what changed and when — it will not appear quietly alongside the thing it is paying for.
What we do not do, in any configuration
- No paid articles, sponsored posts, guest posts or paid links.
- No arrangements with law firms, trademark attorneys or brand agencies, and no referral fees from any of them.
- No selling, brokering or valuing domains.
- No selling or sharing of the names you check. They are not recorded.
- No page ranking or recommending a specific registrar, tool or adviser in exchange for anything.
Why this page is detailed
Naming content is a heavily monetised category, and a great deal of it exists to move readers toward a purchase. You have no way to tell from the outside which pages those are. Publishing the exact commercial position is the only thing that lets you judge, and it costs nothing when the answer is straightforward.
