Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about using NameGenie.ai

How does NameGenie.ai work?

NameGenie.ai uses artificial intelligence to generate domain name suggestions based on your business description and preferences. We then check domain availability in real-time, so you only see domains that are actually available to register. Our technology combines language models with domain availability APIs and proprietary algorithms.

Are my business ideas kept private?

Your business description and generation choices are sent to a Netlify function, which sends them server-to-server to our configured Microsoft Azure AI resource for processing by the deployed DeepSeek model. Generation content is not durably stored in a NameGenie product database, although Netlify and Microsoft may process and retain security, diagnostic, or operational data under applicable provider terms and configuration. Your search history is stored locally on your device, and when you share results, you choose whether to include your business description. See our Privacy Policy for more detail.

Is NameGenie.ai free to use?

Yes, NameGenie.ai is currently free to use. We offer our domain name generation and availability checking service at no cost. In the future, we may introduce premium features, but our core service will remain free.

How accurate is the domain availability information?

We strive to provide the most accurate availability information possible by checking against multiple sources. However, domain availability can change rapidly, and there may be occasional discrepancies. We also detect domains in renewal periods that might appear available but actually aren't. Always verify availability with your registrar before making purchase decisions.

Can I register domains directly through NameGenie.ai?

No, NameGenie.ai is a domain name generator and availability checker, not a registrar. To register a domain you like, click on it, and you'll be directed to a registrar where you can complete the purchase. We may earn affiliate commissions from these referrals at no extra cost to you.

What's the difference between classic and modern TLDs?

Classic TLDs include traditional domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .info, and country-specific extensions like .us or .co.uk. Modern TLDs include newer extensions like .io, .ai, .app, .tech, and industry-specific extensions like .cafe or .photography. Modern TLDs often have better availability but may be less familiar to some users.

Why do some domains say 'In Renewal Period'?

Domains marked as 'In Renewal Period' have recently expired but are in a grace period where the original owner can still renew them. While these domains may appear available in some systems, they're not actually available for new registrations until the renewal period ends. This is especially common for valuable short domains.

How do I save or share domain name results?

You can share your domain name results by clicking the 'Share Results' button above your generated domains. This creates a shareable link that includes your selected domains and optionally your business description. You can copy this link to save for later or share with colleagues.

Can I specify keywords I want in my domain name?

Currently, our AI generates domains based on your business description and type. While you can't specify exact keywords, you can influence results by emphasising important terms in your business description. We're working on adding more customisation options in future updates.

Why are domain prices different for different TLDs?

Domain prices vary by TLD because each registry (the organisation that manages a particular TLD) sets its own wholesale prices. Popular TLDs like .com typically have standardised pricing, while newer or speciality TLDs may be priced higher due to their niche market or uniqueness. The prices we show are approximate retail prices.
