Frequently asked questions

Is NamerGuide free?

Yes. Generation and checks have usage limits to stay within free infrastructure budgets. Limits and outages are shown rather than hidden behind guessed results.

Why are there no close matches?

Some topics are not well represented. Search keeps your constraints; it does not fill the page with unrelated ideas. Change the brief or choose Generate new ideas.

Does a missing registry record mean I can buy a domain?

No. It may be reserved, priced as premium, or registered after our check. Confirm price and purchase availability at the registrar.

How fresh is the evidence?

Unregistered-domain and missing-account results are normally refreshed after one day. Registered-domain evidence can be cached for up to seven days, with shorter windows for popular names. Direct check results may be reused for 15 minutes. These are cache policies, not guarantees. Outdated checks are labeled and excluded from fresh-evidence filters.

Are names trademark checked?

No legal clearance is provided. The generator filters some obvious brand strings, but you must research conflicts before committing.

Will my saved names appear on another device?

No. Your shortlist stays in this browser. Export it to keep a separate copy.

Do you earn from referrals?

Our Namecheap partnership through Impact is approved. Marked referral links may earn a commission without changing the price you pay. See the disclosure.
