About Domainwise
Smart domain search — generate names, check availability, and compare registrar prices instantly. All free, no sign-up required.
Our Mission
Domainwise exists to help you discover, analyze, and register the perfect domain name. We believe domain research should be free, private, and accessible to everyone — regardless of language, location, or technical background.
Our domain search tool brings everything you need into one platform: from brainstorming creative names and checking availability in real time, to comparing registrar prices side by side and verifying technical details like DNS records and SSL certificates. Whether you are launching a startup, building a personal brand, or managing a portfolio of domains, Domainwise gives you the tools to make informed decisions without spending a dime.
We built Domainwise because we were frustrated with fragmented domain tools that forced users to jump between multiple websites, create accounts, or pay for basic functionality. Our goal is simple: one place where you can go from idea to registered domain with confidence.
What Domainwise Offers
Domainwise is more than a domain name search — it is a comprehensive platform designed to support every stage of your domain journey. Here is what you get, completely free:
- Smart Domain Name Generation — Enter a keyword and let our pattern-based generator create hundreds of creative name ideas using five modes (prefix, suffix, both, wrap, and exact) combined with six categories of supplementary words.
- Real-Time Availability Checking — Instantly see which domains are available using the RDAP protocol, the modern replacement for legacy WHOIS queries.
- Multi-Registrar Price Comparison — Compare registration prices across 6+ global registrars (Namecheap, GoDaddy, Porkbun, Cloudflare, Dynadot, Name.com) and 13 country-specific registrars.
- Bulk Domain Checking — Check up to 10 domains simultaneously with our bulk domain checker. Import from CSV, TXT, or just paste your list.
- My Domains Watchlist — Save your favorites to the My Domains watchlist, re-check availability in batch, and export or import your lists as JSON, CSV, or TXT.
- 8 Domain & Network Tools — A full suite of analysis tools to investigate any domain or network resource, accessible from the tools directory.
All Tools at a Glance
Domainwise includes 8 integrated domain and network tools, each designed for a specific analysis task. Switch between tools instantly using the ToolSwitcher bar, or pass any domain between tools with a single click via our cross-tool workflow.
