Domain name search FAQ

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.

Can I search who owns a domain name?

Yes—you can use a WHOIS domain lookup to see who owns a specific name. This type of search tool pulls up information from the registrar, such as the domain owner’s details, when the name was registered, when it expires and more.


Keep in mind, sometimes owners use domain privacy services, so not all contact info is public. A WHOIS lookup is separate from registering a domain—it’s just for checking ownership info. Reliable search tools for domain lookup make it easy to see what’s available and what’s already claimed.

What are domain name extensions (like .com, .net, .org)?

Domain extensions are the little endings that come after your website name, like .com, .net, or .org. They’re also known as top-level domains (TLDs). Traditionally, .com is the most popular, while .net and .org are common for networks and organizations. Today, there are also hundreds of new TLDs—from .shop to .online and .ai—that let you get creative and more specific.


When you use a domain search tool, it doesn’t just check your name with one extension—it checks across multiple extensions so you can see all the options available in real time.

How much does a domain name cost?

Domain prices can vary quite a bit. A standard domain name usually starts around $10–$20 per year, depending on the extension you choose (like .com, .net, or .co). Some names are considered premium domains—short, catchy, or high-demand words—and those can cost hundreds or even thousands.


Keep in mind there’s usually a renewal fee each year to keep your domain active and pricing can shift based on availability. The good news is that with Wix, after running a domain name search, you’ll always see the exact cost, so there are no surprises when it’s time to buy.

What is a domain name search tool?

Think of a domain name search tool as your starting point for getting a website address. It’s an online tool that lets you type in the domain name you want and instantly check its availability. If the exact name is taken, you’ll see suggestions and alternatives that could work just as well and that you might not have thought of. This is the very first step before buying a domain. The tool helps you check domain availability in real time. Once you find the right name, you can move on to our domain registration page to securely purchase it.
