Frequently asked questions
About unlock.domains — the free AI domain name generator with real-time availability checking.
- Is unlock.domains free to use?
- Yes. Describe your idea, get AI-generated domain name suggestions, and see real-time availability across 80+ TLDs at no cost. Registration happens at a registrar of your choice.
- How does the AI generate domain names?
- You describe what you're building in plain language. A large language model proposes brandable names across a spread of TLDs, then each candidate is checked for availability in real time before results are shown.
- How is availability checked?
- Primarily via RDAP (the registries' authoritative lookup protocol), with WHOIS as a fallback for TLDs that need it and a DNS cross-check. Results are labelled available, possibly available, or taken.
- Which TLDs are supported?
- More than 80, including .com, .io, .dev, .app, .ai, .co, .shop, .coffee, and many niche extensions that can reinforce a name's meaning.
- Can I refine the suggestions?
- Yes. Follow-up messages keep context, so you can ask for shorter names, a different vibe, or a specific TLD and the results adapt.
- Where can I register an available domain?
- Any registrar. Each available result links out so you can register through Namecheap, Porkbun, GoDaddy, Dynadot, or your preferred provider.
