Bulk Domain Checker

The Bulk Domain Checker saves you from typing the same name into a search box fifteen times. Enter one name to test it on every extension you tick, or paste a list of up to 50 full domains and see which ones are free, with live prices, in one go.

Two ways to use the bulk checker

The tool understands two kinds of input and switches automatically.

1. One name, many extensions

Type a single word or brand, like gilgittravels, without any dot. Tick the extensions you care about below the box: .com, .net, .org, .io, .co, .ai, .app, .dev, .xyz, .online, .site, .store, .info, .me, .tech and .pk. Press Check all and you get one row per extension, each with its status and price.

This is the fastest way to answer the question “where is my brand still free?” before you settle on a name.

2. A list of different domains

Paste a list of full domains separated by commas, spaces or new lines, for example a shortlist you made in a notes app. The tool cleans each line, removes duplicates and checks up to 50 at once. Lines without an extension are checked as .com.

This mode is handy when you are comparing name ideas with a partner or a client, or when you keep a list of expiring names you want to watch.

How to read the results

At the top you see a summary such as “6 of 15 available”. Below that, each domain gets its own row:

Prices are in US dollars from the Vercel Registrar. Other registrars may charge a little more or less, but the comparison between extensions is what matters here: you can see at a glance that one extension is twice the price of another.

Why check many extensions at once?

Protect your brand

If your business grows, someone may register your name on another extension and use it to confuse your customers. Many brands register .com plus their local extension and one or two popular alternatives. A bulk check shows you which of those are still open.

Find the best price

Extensions vary a lot in price. A .com is usually reasonable, a .ai can cost many times more, and some new extensions are cheap in year one but expensive at renewal. Seeing them side by side helps you avoid a surprise next year.

Make a quick decision

When you are excited about a name, it is tempting to buy the first available version. Checking everything at once gives you the full picture in seconds, so you choose calmly.

A smart workflow for picking a name

1. Brainstorm 10 to 20 ideas. Write down everything, even silly ones. If you are stuck, the Domain Name Generator creates ideas from a keyword and checks them for you.

2. Paste the list here. Remove the ones that are taken on .com unless you are happy with another extension.

3. Shortlist three. Say each one out loud, ask a friend to type it after hearing it once, and check that social handles are free.

4. Run your favourite in single-name mode. See which extensions are free for the winner, so you can decide what to register for protection.

5. Compare renewal prices. Use the Domain Price Checker for the exact first year, renewal and transfer price.

6. Register. Buy the main domain first, then any protective extensions you want.

Which extensions are worth registering for protection?

You do not need to buy every extension. That gets expensive and most of them will never matter. A reasonable plan for most small businesses and personal brands:

• Your main domain, usually .com.
• Your country extension if you sell locally, for example .pk or .com.pk in Pakistan.
• One common alternative, like .net, only if your brand name is unique and valuable.
• Common misspellings if your name is often mistyped. Point them to your main site.

Skip expensive niche extensions unless you have a real reason. If someone later uses your name in bad faith, trademark rules and dispute processes can help, and a registered trademark is a stronger protection than owning twenty extensions.

About .pk and other country extensions

Country code extensions are run by each country’s registry. Some of them publish availability data through RDAP and some do not. When the Vercel Registrar does not sell an extension, the tool asks the registry through RDAP. If the registry has no record, you see “Looks free”, which you should confirm at a registrar.

Pakistan’s PKNIC does not provide a public lookup API, so .pk rows show Unknown with a link to the PKNIC lookup page. You can still tick .pk to remind yourself to check it there.

Tips for faster, cleaner results

• Use letters, numbers and hyphens only. Spaces inside a name are not allowed in domains, so “gilgit tours” should be typed as gilgittours or gilgit-tours.
• Keep lists under 50 domains per check. Split longer lists into batches.
• If you paste domains from a spreadsheet, each cell on a new line works fine.
• Results are cached for a few minutes. If you just registered a name and want to see it as taken, wait a little and check again.
• Untick extensions you would never use to keep the list focused.

Example situations where a bulk check helps

These example scenarios show how a single bulk check can settle a naming decision:

A tour operator in Gilgit

Say the owner wants “hunzatrips”. If the .com is taken by a parked page but .pk, .co and .online are free, a sensible move is to register the .pk for local trust, add the .co for international visitors, and point both to one site. One bulk check shows all of this in seconds.

A dry fruit shop

Imagine five name ideas written on paper. Pasting all five into the list mode might show that only two are free on .com, and that one of those is a premium name with a high price. The choice then becomes easy: the remaining free .com at a normal price.

A freelancer building client sites

A useful habit is to run the client’s business name through the checker on .com, .pk and .net before the first meeting, then bring the free options along. Clients decide faster when they see real availability instead of guesses.

After you find free names

Register the ones you want at a registrar you trust. I use Dynadot for most domains because WHOIS privacy is free and renewals stay close to the first year price. If you are also starting hosting, Hostinger includes a free domain for the first year on its yearly plans.

Understanding renewal prices in a bulk list

When a row shows two prices, the small one underneath is the renewal. It is the amount you pay every year after the first. In a list of many extensions, sort them in your head by renewal, not by the first year. A domain that costs a little more today but renews cheaply is the better deal over three or five years.

Premium names deserve extra care. The badge means the registry priced that exact name higher, and premium pricing often applies to renewals too. If a premium name is perfect for your brand, it can still be worth it, but know the yearly cost before you commit.

Common questions people ask before buying several domains

Can I point all of them to one website?

Yes. Choose one main domain for your website and set the others to forward or redirect to it. Search engines then treat the main one as your real address. Most registrars include free URL forwarding.

Will extra domains help my SEO?

No. Owning more domains does not improve rankings. Redirected domains simply send visitors to your main site. Focus your SEO effort on one domain.

Should I register for one year or longer?

One year is fine for testing an idea. For your main brand, a longer registration or auto-renew removes the risk of losing it by accident.
