How to check Domains and Social Usernames at one time
Head over to Namech_k and drop your Domain idea into the search box (just the Domain Name; no www. or extensions).
First, confirm that the .com extension is available:
If the Domain is available, it’ll show Buy
in the results.
If it’s unavailable, it’ll show Registered
instead:
Next, click Check usernames
in the Usernames section
Finally, confirm that the Social usernames you want (ideally Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter) are available:
In this case, you can see that Facebook (and likely Instagram) and YouTube are available, but Twitter isn’t.
Note
In this example, Twitter is likely unavailable because courageandgrowtest
is too long
If the Domain you checked doesn’t have the availability you need, keep running through ideas until you find one that does.
Pro Tip
It took me dozens of tries before I settled on courageandgrow
. This is normal!
If you’ve found a Domain that has the availability you need, now’s the time to buy!
You might be tempted to click that green Buy
button, but don’t!
Where to go to buy your Domain Name
That shiny Buy button might be enticing, but avoid clicking it.
