About NameGator

What is NameGator?

NameGator is a web application for naming a business and finding a domain to match. You describe your business in one sentence and NameGator returns a batch of brandable name ideas. Each idea is checked against live registry data, so you can see whether the .com is free and which alternatives such as .co, .io or .ai are open. Generating names and checking domains is free and needs no account; you only pay if you register a domain or buy hosting. Beyond the main generator, NameGator offers dedicated name generators for dozens of industries, a bulk domain search, an IntoDNS check, domain registration and web hosting.

Why does NameGator exist?

Most naming tools stop at a list, and most good-sounding names are already registered. That gap wastes hours: you fall for a name, open a registrar in another tab, and find the domain is gone. NameGator puts the naming and the domain check in one place, so every name you react to is one you could actually own.

How does NameGator check domains?

When a name is shown or clicked, NameGator looks the domain up in live registry data through its registrar connection. A name is only marked available after that lookup returns. Availability can change minutes later, so the final confirmation always happens at checkout.

What NameGator does not do

• It does not run trademark searches. Check your shortlist in an official database such as the USPTO, EUIPO or WIPO before you launch.
• It does not verify social media handles. Check Instagram, LinkedIn, X and TikTok yourself.
• It does not give legal advice, and it publishes no usage statistics, customer counts or ratings.
