Exact brand
Search the business or product name first. If it is too long, simplify the root before adding modifiers from the domain word bank.
Search workflow
Domain name search that starts with a better shortlist
A useful domain search should narrow the field, not flood you with hundreds of weak names. Start with one honest seed term, compare focused alternatives, then judge the shortlist for clarity, pronunciation, extension fit, and registration risk.
What to search first
Category phrase
Search phrases such as invoice app, webshop tools, or handmade gifts when the brand is still open. Category phrases reveal naming directions without pretending every phrase should become a domain.
Full domain
Paste a domain such as example.com to keep the root and compare other TLDs, cleaner variants, or a better exact-match option.
A practical search sequence
- Run the cleanest root first, without legal suffixes, punctuation, filler words, or extra keywords.
- Keep five to ten names that are easy to say and spell after hearing them once.
- Prefer one meaningful modifier over a chain of generic words.
- Compare .com with TLDs that match the audience, product, or geography using the TLD decision guide.
- Use length and contains filters to remove names that will be awkward in ads, invoices, or email.
- Check availability, trademarks, renewal costs, and confusingly similar names before purchase.
Prefix and suffix ideas
Prefixes
get, try, use, join, run, build, ship, my. Prefixes work best when they make the call to action clearer, such as trybrand.com for a product-led app.
Suffixes
app, shop, store, hub, pro, online, studio, ops, cloud, lab. Suffixes work best when they describe the product type, such as brandshop.com for ecommerce or brandops.com for SaaS.

Search, filter, then verify
Use RunNames to build a planning shortlist, then verify final availability, premium status, renewal terms, and checkout pricing with the registrar before buying.
