Domain name search FAQ
How do I check if a domain name is available?
You can check domain availability in 3 short steps:
Step 1: Open a domain availability checker—Wix’s version is a free tool. Enter the name you have in mind (you can include different extensions like .com, .net, .co and so on).
Step 2: Get instant results. You’ll be able to see if the exact domain you want is available right now.
Step 3: Choose the domain you want. If it’s not available, you’ll get suggested alternatives (with different spellings, keywords or extensions) if it’s taken.
That’s it—type, check, choose. Once you spot a match you love, you can proceed to register it before someone else does.
How do I choose the best domain name for my website?
Think of your domain name as your online identity, so picking the right one matters. Here are some quick tips:
Keep it short and memorable so people can recall it easily.
Make it relevant to your brand and, if possible, include keywords related to what you do.
Avoid hyphens and numbers—they’re harder to type and easy to forget.
Choose something that reflects your brand’s personality and that is easy to spell.
The best domain names strike a balance: simple enough to remember but strong enough to stand out in search.
How to search for free domains?
When you choose an annual Wix plan, you get a free domain name for the first year. To conduct a domain search and see which are available for free, simply use the Wix domain search tool. Enter the domain you want into the domain name search bar and the tool will show you all of your available options. You can also explore all different kinds of domain extensions like .com, .net and even country codes. Once you find the domain that works for you, remember that it's free for the first year with your Wix plan. So you can easily manage your website, (free) hosting and domain, all under one roof.
What are the different types of domain names?
There are a few main categories of domain names, and knowing them helps you pick the right fit:
Generic top-level domains (gTLDs): Common endings like .com, .net, .org used worldwide.
Country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs): Two-letter codes for countries, like .uk for the United Kingdom or .de for Germany.
New TLDs: Recently introduced options like .app, .shop and .online, giving you more creative freedom.
Sponsored domains: Restricted to specific groups, such as .edu for accredited schools or .gov for government entities.
Each type serves a different purpose . Using Wix’s domain search tool you will be able to see availability across them so you can decide which one suits your website best.
What happens if the domain name I want is already taken?
Don’t worry—it happens all the time and you still have plenty of options. You can try small variations of your idea (like adding a keyword or changing the spelling) or look at alternatives like picking a different domain extension (like .net, .co, .online, etc.) that still fits your brand’s vibe.
If you’ve got your heart set on that exact name, you can use a WHOIS lookup tool to see who owns it, when it expires and possibly contact the owner about buying. Many domains are also listed on the domain aftermarket, where owners sell names they no longer use. Another route is to place a backorder, which means you’ll have a chance to grab the name if it ever becomes available.
So, even if your first choice is taken, you’ve got multiple paths to find or secure a domain that works for you.
