FAQ - Domain Name Search & Availability

Where can I get a domain name?

It's crucial to buy a domain name from a trusted registrar that specializes in internet domains to ensure you’re in good hands. With Wix, you can get a free domain when you purchase a premium plan.

Wix is not only a certified registrar but also provides a secure and GDPR-compliant platform with SSL/TLS certificates for safe HTTPS information submission. Our web hosting service is reliable and provides top-notch domain security and safety for all of our users.

How do I check if a domain name is available?

To check the availability of your desired domain name, simply enter the name and extension (e.g., .com, .net, .org) you want to register. Our domain availability search tool will let you know if the name is already taken or not. If it's unavailable, alternative options may be suggested. You can get information about unavailable domains, such as the domain owner and registration details using the Whois lookup tool.

What are TLDs, ccTLDs and gTLDs, and which one should I use for my domain?

TLDs (top-level domains) are the last part of a domain name, such as .com, .org, or .net. They are divided into two main categories: generic top-level domains (gTLDs) and country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs).


gTLDs are generic domains that are not tied to a specific country or geographic location, such as .com, .org, .net, .edu, and .info. ccTLDs, on the other hand, are country-specific domains, such as .uk, .ca, .fr, or .au.

Using a ccTLD can indicate to visitors that your website is targeted at a specific country or region. This can be useful if you are running a local business or targeting a specific audience, and can also serve to help support your organic growth (SEO) efforts.


If you’re interested in learning more about the impact of TLDs on SEO, you can read this article or visit Wix's support page on domain name and SEO best practices.

Is .com the best option when it comes to domain extensions?

Using a well-known and established gTLD, such as .com, enhances your brand's credibility and trust, making it more reputable in the digital space. Additionally, it indirectly supports SEO, increases the potential resale value of your domain, and remains the most commonly sought-after extension for businesses.


However, securing your preferred domain name can be as important as a .com extension. Using a more specific extension, such as .store, .art or .fitness, can help you find the name you’re looking for and make your site easier for people to remember.

Is it recommended to secure multiple extensions for my domain name?

Registering multiple domain extensions for your website, such as .com, .net, and .org along with your chosen TLD will redirect visitors back to your main website. Registering multiple extensions may help you capture sit traffic that might otherwise be lost, and help prevent your visitors from visiting the wrong website.

Registering a ccTLD, or country specific extension, such as co.uk, .ca, or .de can help you expand your online presence globally, target local audiences, and help you secure your preferred TLD in new geographies.

What are expiring domain names?

Expiring domain names are names that are currently unavailable, but whose registration is due to expire soon, making them available for purchase. Wix domains also offers an auto-renewal option, You can find the domain renewal date of a domain you’ve purchased through Wix on your account page, under the premium subscriptions tab.

What domain extensions can I get with my free domain name?

Your free domain voucher is valid for a complete domain extension list, including: .com, .net, .org, .art, .at, .biz, .blog, .club, .coach, .fit, .fitness, .fun, .info, .live, .online, .pictures, .rocks, .space, .shop, .site, .store, .studio, .training, .work, .xyz, .yoga, as well as country codes .co.uk, .ca, .ch, .com.br, .in, .nl and .de.

How to search and use the domain name tool?

To search for a domain name, you can use a domain checker or domain finder tool, which allows you to see if the domain you want is available and provides suggestions for similar domain names.


Wix offers a user-friendly search tool that you can access directly from our website. To use the tool, simply enter the domain name you want into the search bar and click "Search." If the domain is available, you can add it to your cart and proceed with the registration process. If the domain is already taken, the tool will provide suggestions for similar domain names that may be available.
