How to use it
-
Type the name you have in mind
In the search box on the naymo home page, type the domain you're dreaming of — just the name, like “coolcafe”, or the full thing with an ending such as “coolcafe.com”. You don't need to know anything technical; if you can type it, you can check it.
-
Press Enter and read the result
naymo instantly tells you whether that exact name is taken or free. A green “available” means nobody owns it yet and you can register it. If it's taken, you'll see that too — no guessing.
-
Scan the other endings
Below your result we show the same name with other endings (.com, .co, .io, .ai and more) so you can spot a great free alternative if your first pick is gone. Each one shows its own availability and price.
-
Compare the price across registrars
For any available name, click through to see the genuinely cheapest registrar — the shop you actually buy from. We compare the first-year price AND the yearly renewal, so you don't get caught by a cheap first year that doubles later.
-
Go register it (we send you straight there)
Happy with a name? Use the handoff link to the cheapest registrar and complete the purchase there. naymo earns nothing on that click, so the “cheapest” we show is the real cheapest — not whoever pays us.
Comparing the price across registrars
Get more out of it
Check renewals, not just year one
Lots of registrars lure you with a $1 first year, then renew at $20+. naymo always shows the renewal price too — sort by it if you're keeping the name for a while.
Shorter and simpler wins
If your first choice is taken, try dropping a word or using a punchier synonym. A name that's easy to say out loud is easy to remember and type.
Don't sleep on newer endings
When the .com is gone or pricey, endings like .co, .io, or .ai can be perfect — especially for a brand, app, or AI product. We show their prices side by side.
Availability you can trust
We confirm a name is free using the official domain registry (and a backup check for a few endings), so a “available” result is real — not a stale guess.
Let an AI agent do the searching
If you use an AI assistant, it can run these same searches for you through naymo's developer tools — handy when you're brainstorming dozens of names at once.
Common questions
Is searching for a domain free?
Yes, completely. You can check as many names and endings as you like for free, with no account and no card. You only pay when you actually register a domain — and you do that at the registrar, not at naymo.
Does naymo sell the domain to me?
No. naymo finds the name and points you to the cheapest registrar to buy it. We don't take a cut or earn a referral fee, which is exactly why the “cheapest” price we show is the real one.
What does “available” actually mean?
It means nobody currently owns that exact domain, so you can register it. We confirm this against the official registry for each ending, with a backup check for endings that don't offer one — so you won't be told a taken name is free.
Why are some names so much cheaper at one registrar?
Registrars set their own prices and often run first-year promotions. Two shops can sell the identical domain at very different prices, and the cheap one this year may renew expensively. naymo compares both numbers so you can pick the one that's cheapest over time.
