Checking Domain Name Availability

Let's now learn how to check domains for availability. For this purpose, every registrar has its own service. For example: hoster.by, reg.ru, domain.com.

Such services typically consist of an input field where you enter your desired domain name. After a short time, the service provides information on whether the domain is taken or not.

If the domain is taken, these services often suggest similar available names. Sometimes they are quite good, sometimes not. In any case, pay attention to them.

If you play around with domain checking a bit, you will see that the majority of attractive domain names are already taken, especially in popular, older zones like .com or .net.

Because of this, choosing a domain name nowadays is a real art. You need the domain to be attractive, and the name to be available.

If you need a specific domain, but its name is already taken in one zone, you can search for that name in another zone, one that is less popular or more expensive.
