Domain name search – ​FAQ

Before you use the IONOS domain check to see if the domain you want is available, it's important that you think carefully about what you want your domain name to be. Choosing your domain name will be one of the most important decisions you make when it comes to building your website. Play around with some ideas and take the advice of friends and colleagues. As you begin to come up with potential domains, you can check which ones are available on the IONOS site. This will allow you to filter out ideas that are already taken and start whittling down your list.

All you need to do is visit ionos.co.uk and type a potential domain name into the checker. The IONOS check will immediately see if the domain name is available for you to register and also provide you with other possible top-level domain names (TLDs) if your initial choice is not available. In addition, it will display the domain names that may have been occupied in the past but are now free for you to register.

If you are having trouble choosing your perfect domain name, IONOS is here to help. There are a multitude of options available to you – and workarounds for any problem all leading you to a fantastic domain name for your site.

The first thing you can do is think about changing the TLD. This is the part of the URL at the end: for example .com, .net, .org. So if your desired domain name was balletshoes.com and you find that this is already taken, you can try balletshoes.org or balletshoes.net. The IONOS domain check will automatically generate your desired domain name with new TLDs if your first choice is already taken.

If these are also not available, or you have your heart set on one particular TLD, then you can think about adapting your original domain name. Having to rethink your domain name shouldn't be seen as a problem and, in fact, it may lead to a spark of inspiration that helps your chosen domain name to really stand out.
