Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes. Your first search runs without an account. A free account includes 10 searches a month, which is 100 available names, live availability checking, favorites comparison, and 1 full report a month. No credit card required.
How do you check availability?
Every name is checked live against DNS and official registry data (RDAP). A name is only shown as available when the registry confirms it has no registration.
Do you sell domains?
No. When you find your name, we hand you off to the registrar of your choice (Namecheap, Porkbun, Cloudflare, Dynadot, or Squarespace) at their normal price. No markup, no commission.
What makes a good startup name?
Short, easy to spell after hearing it once, pronounceable in one way, no trademark collisions in your space, and an available .com or credible alternative. NamingOwl scores every candidate against exactly these criteria.
