Guide

How to choose a business name

A good name is easy to say, easy to spell and still free as a domain. Run your favourites through these checks before you fall in love with one.

  • Say it out loud. If you have to spell it for people, it will cost you visits.
  • Keep it short: two words, or one invented word, ideally under 15 letters.
  • Hint at what you sell, but leave room to grow: “Luna Bakery” can still sell coffee, “Luna Croissants” can't.
  • Check the domain and the social handles before you decide. A name you can't get online is a name you'll have to change.
  • Search your country's trademark register and the web to make sure nobody nearby already trades under it.

How the domain availability check works

For every name, we ask the registry that runs the domain ending (Verisign for .com, for example) whether the domain is registered. We use RDAP, the public lookup that replaced WHOIS.

Likely available means the registry has no record of the domain, so you can usually register it right away at any registrar. Taken means someone owns it. Couldn't check means the registry didn't answer in time: try again in a minute.

Someone else can register a domain at any moment, and some free-looking domains are reserved or sold at a premium price, so confirm at your registrar before you print anything.

.com, .store or .shop?

.com is still what people type by default, so take it if it's free. For an online store, .store and .shop are good second choices: short, clear about what the site does, and many more of them are still free.

Name ideas by business type

Frequently asked questions

Yes, with no account. Generate as many names as you like. Domain checks are free too, with a fair-use limit so the registries keep answering.

From your words and a list of words for your type of business, combined the way real brands are named: two words joined together, “The … Bakery”, “… & Co”, alliteration and short invented words. The same words always give the same names, and “More names” shows the next batch.

It asks each domain's registry directly, over RDAP, so it shows what the registry knows at that moment. “Likely available” means the registry has no record of the domain; reserved and premium domains can still show it, so always confirm at your registrar before you buy. Answers are kept for a few minutes.

The registries behind those three publish a public lookup we can ask directly. Every name gets its .com checked; .store and .shop are checked when you ask on a name. Endings such as .co and .io have no public lookup, so they can't be checked reliably.

The generator only checks domains. Before you commit to a name, search your country's trademark office and do a quick web search for businesses that already use it.

Register the domain at any registrar, then press “Build my store with this name”: NanoSite builds your online store with that name in a few minutes, and you can connect the domain to it.
