Features
Search
When you type a search term into Domainr, you’ll see all the different possible domain names it creates. You’ll also see generic domains like .com, .net and .org. If you’re looking for a non-Latin internationalized domain name, you can enter characters with accents or other diacritics, and even scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese and Hindi.
Coverage
Domainr supports the entire global namespace of domains, which includes:
- Generic domains like .com, .net and .org.
- Country domains like .au, .es and .jp.
- Second-level domains like co.uk, org.au and net.nz.
- Sponsored domains like .asia, .jobs and .mobi.
- Internationalized domains like ☺.com, 丿乀.com and ☃.net.
Status
Domainr checks DNS to see if a domain name is available. Because different domains put information into their DNS entries in different ways, sometimes Domainr can’t know their exact availability. For example, a few domains use wildcard DNS.
Domainr also shows whether a domain name is possible to register—different domains have their own restrictions for things like minimum domain length, top-level registerability, and International character support.
Registration
Domainr links to registrars and NICs for every domain, including both top-level and second-level domains. After you click on a search result, you’ll see links to registrars that process domain registrations.
Other Neat Stuff
If you find a fun domain and want to link to it from your blog, Domainr has permalinks for each domain you search for. If you want to get in touch with us directly, we’re listening at both Get Satisfaction and Twitter.
