Find out whether a domain name is already taken
Check a name, see whether it is in use, and get alternatives that are free.
Open Is It Takenisittaken.base31.orgIs It Taken looks up the domain you are considering and tells you whether it is registered, what it resolves to, and which similar names are still available.
It checks the common endings at once, so you are not repeating the same search five times while you are still deciding what to call something.
What it does
Availability in one pass
Check the name you want and see how each popular extension looks in the same result.
Registration insights
Registration data helps you tell a domain that is genuinely in use from one that is parked.
Live DNS
Resolution results confirm what the registration data suggests, rather than leaving you to trust one source.
Instant alternatives
When the obvious name is gone, the tool suggests nearby ones that are not.
How to use Is It Taken
- Type the name you are considering, with or without an extension.
- Read the availability result, then look at the DNS and registration details for the ones that are taken.
- Take a suggestion, or adjust the name and check again.
Questions about Is It Taken
Is a domain showing as available really free to register?
Treat it as a strong signal rather than a guarantee. Registrars can hold names in states that look free from the outside, so confirm at a registrar before you rely on the result.
Why do some registered domains show no website?
A registered name can be parked, held for resale, or simply not pointed at anything yet. Registration tells you the name is taken, not that a business is running on it.
Does checking a domain register it?
No. A lookup only reads public registration and DNS data, so nothing is reserved by searching.
