How to Check Domain Availability Across 16 TLDs Instantly

Instead of typing your idea into GoDaddy 16 times, run one query and see .com, .io, .ai, .dev, .app and more at once — from your browser, with no upsells.

Zro7 Domain Name Search runs RDAP queries in parallel from your browser. No affiliate redirects, no lock-in.

To check whether a name is available across all the popular TLDs at once, open Zro7 Domain Name Search, type the base name, and Zro7 queries 16 RDAP endpoints in parallel — .com .net .org .io .ai .dev .app .co .xyz .me .so .in .to .sh .gg .site — and marks each one available or taken.

How the check works

For each TLD, Zro7 hits its RDAP endpoint with the candidate name. RDAP returns 404 for unregistered names, and a full JSON object for registered ones. That's it — no registrar API, no affiliate SDK, no third-party pixel firing on every keystroke like the big domain search sites do.

Why not just use a registrar's search box?

  • Front-running — searches on some registrars have historically leaked to speculators who then register the name and resell to you. Since your query never leaves your browser here, there's nothing to leak.
  • Upsells — registrar search UIs are designed to make you buy premium extensions and extras. RDAP is just data.
  • Speed — parallel RDAP is faster than a single-registrar sequential check.

What 'available' actually means

RDAP 404 means the registry has no record. That's usually correct, but three edge cases exist:

  • Premium name — technically unregistered but reserved by the registry with a 4–6 figure sticker price (common in .io, .ai, .co).
  • Redemption period — someone let it expire; RDAP may show 'pendingDelete'. It'll re-enter the pool in ~30 days.
  • Registry hold — reserved for policy reasons (trademarks, generic terms).

Picking the right extension in 2026

  • .com — still the default trust signal. Take it if available.
  • .io / .ai / .dev / .app — startup norm; .ai is genuinely expensive now.
  • .co — 'company' shorthand; wide availability.
  • .xyz / .site — cheapest, weakest trust signal.
  • ccTLD hacks (.sh, .gg, .me) — cute, but registry policy can change (see .io's ongoing transition).

Steps

  1. Open Domain Name Search.
  2. Type the base name (no TLD).
  3. Read the grid — green = available, gray = taken.
  4. For any taken name, click through to WHOIS to check expiration date.

Frequently asked questions

Can I actually register through Zro7?

No — Zro7 only checks availability. Take the result to any registrar (Cloudflare Registrar and Porkbun typically offer at-cost pricing).

Why is one TLD slow?

Some RDAP endpoints (older ccTLDs) rate-limit or take >2s. Zro7 shows results as they arrive.

Does 'available' guarantee I can register it?

Usually yes, but premium names and registry-reserved terms won't appear at the standard price.

Is my search leaked to anyone?

Only to the 16 public RDAP endpoints — no analytics, no affiliate pings, no cookies.

Can you add more TLDs?

Yes — open an issue with the TLD you want and its RDAP endpoint (from the IANA bootstrap file).
