Free Domain Availability Checker: Check Domain Names

Run a quick domain name search before you commit to a brand name. Paste up to 10 full names and see whether each is an available domain, a registered domain, reserved, or unknown — with expiry context from public WHOIS and RDAP when the registry publishes it.

Enter each full domain without https:// or paths. This bulk domain search reads public RDAP/WHOIS so you can check domain availability for each exact name. Confirm eligibility with any domain registrar before you complete domain registration.

Up to 10 domains per run · 1 job at a time · 10 domains per day.

How to check if a domain name is available

Use this page when you need a live registry answer for a shortlist — before you lock in a name for your website, wait on a drop, or pivot to another domain extension.

  1. Paste full domain names above — one per line (e.g. example.com). Up to 10 per run for domain name availability in one batch.
  2. Click Check names. We query public RDAP/WHOIS the same way our Domain Expiry Checker does.
  3. Read the Status column: Available, Registered, Reserved, or Unknown.
  4. When a domain name is available, you can register a domain at any registrar — we do not sell registrations. When it is Registered, use Expires on / Days left (when published), then open the Domain Expiry Checker or browse Karma.Domains for expired alternatives.
  5. Use Copy Table below the overview when you need a shortlist offline.

What you get

  • Registry status — Available, Registered, Reserved, or Unknown per domain.
  • Expiry context for taken names — expiration date and days left when the registry publishes them.
  • Table + cards — scan the overview, open a row for the detailed breakdown, copy the table when you search for domain names across a list.

Chrome extension

Check availability while you browse search results

Install the free Karma Domains Chrome extension to see domain age and Karma Metric on SERPs — and run availability, expiry, WHOIS, and other Checks from the popup.

Status meanings, expiring names, and choosing an extension

A live lookup answers whether a specific name is held today. For investors and site owners, the follow-ups are usually expiry timing, whether another top-level domain fits, and whether an expired name on Karma.Domains beats waiting.

Registered

Registered means someone holds the name today. That is not permanent: check Expires on and our Domain Expiry Checker to see where it sits in the lifecycle. A dead website does not mean the name is free to register.

Reserved and Unknown

Reserved means the registry marks the name as reserved. Unknown means the lookup did not complete or the zone does not publish enough public data — retry later; do not treat Unknown as Registered.

What to do if your domain name is taken

Try another domain extension (another top-level domain) if the .com is a registered domain you cannot buy. Add a short word to the brand name, or pick a different name for your website that is still easy to say.

Check when the registered domain might free up via the Expires on date and Days left in your results — then use the Domain Expiry Checker for lifecycle detail.

Browse expired and dropping inventory on Karma.Domains when you would rather choose a domain that is already on the market.

Tips for choosing the right domain name

Keep it short, easy to spell, and brandable — the perfect domain for a new project is often a single memorable word plus a matching domain extension.

Match the top-level domain to your audience (.com for global brands, country codes when local trust matters) and say the full name out loud before you register a domain.

Run this bulk domain search on a few finalists; when one domain name is available across your list, pick the right domain and confirm checkout at a registrar — Karma.Domains does not sell registrations.

What this tool does not do

We do not expand one bare label across hundreds of TLDs, we do not quote registrar cart prices, and we do not run drop watches or aftermarket listings on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this tool show?

Live registry status for up to 10 domains per run: Available, Registered, Reserved, or Unknown — plus expiry dates when the registry publishes them for registered names.

Where does the data come from?

Public RDAP/WHOIS registry responses — the same stack as our Domain Expiry Checker. We do not infer status from whether a website loads or from DNS alone.

Why is status Unknown?

The registry was slow, rate-limited, or does not publish public registration data for that TLD. Unknown is not the same as Registered — retry the name.

Can I check multiple domain names at once?

Yes. Paste up to 10 domain names per run (one active job at a time). The shared free tier also caps how many domains you can look up per day across Karma landing-tools — 10 domains per day total — unless you use Pro or pay-as-you-go credits.

Why can different domain checkers show different results?

Registries cache responses, premium or reserved names can be reported differently between vendors, and RDAP vs classic WHOIS can lag by a few minutes. Our results reflect what public registry data returned at lookup time — retry if you need to confirm before domain registration.

How do I register a domain after finding one that is available?

Register it at any domain registrar you trust. Karma.Domains does not sell domain registration on this page — we only show whether the name looks available, registered, reserved, or unknown, plus expiry fields when published.

Is there a daily limit? Do I need an account?

No signup is required for the free tier. Limits match other Karma landing-tools: up to 10 domains per run, one active job, and the shared free daily domain limit of 10 domains per day across these tools.

Can I check a bare name across every TLD or get prices?

Not in this free landing tool. Paste full domains with the extension. We do not show registrar retail prices — confirm price and eligibility at a registrar before buying.

How can I run more checks after the free daily limit?

Upgrade to the Pro plan for higher limits inside Karma.Domains.

Is there a Chrome extension?

Yes — the free Karma Domains Chrome extension shows domain age and Karma Metric on Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo results, and runs the same Checks from the popup. Install once, then check domains while you search.

Where can I browse expired domains to buy?

Alongside this free check, the full list of expired domains from 49 lists across 32 platforms (auctions, drops and buy-now listings) is on the Karma.Domains homepage, updated hourly.
