DigMyName

The fastest domain search — or the second. Dispute it. Free, honest domain availability checks across 50+ TLDs with 6-registrar price comparison.

What it does

DigMyName checks domain availability in real time across 50+ TLDs. Availability is cross-checked against three independent signals — RDAP (resolved via the IANA bootstrap registry), DNS-over-HTTPS (Cloudflare, Google and AdGuard, hedged), and Fastly Domain Research — and when they disagree we show an honest Unverified state instead of guessing. For the popular extensions the visitor's browser asks the registry's RDAP server and DNS-over-HTTPS directly for the first answer, over connections opened while the name is still being typed; the edge re-checks every card and stays the authority. Prices are refreshed weekly from the registrars' own catalogs and pages.

On top of availability you get side-by-side registrar pricing for 6 registrars, including the renewal traps that first-year promo prices hide (a $1 registration that renews at $61 is not a deal). Everything is also exposed through a free, no-auth JSON API for agents, plus an MCP server so any LLM — Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, Zed — can check domains directly.

Speed

Under 0.5 s to the first answer at the 95th percentile for a cold visitor — 386 ms from the US, 485 ms from the EU, 150 fresh browsers each, September 2026 · the full check with pricing lands in about half a second (median). Everyday numbers, not a lab result — the on-screen stopwatch is the live proof; your numbers vary by network, TLD and cache — see digmyname.com/speed.

Tests

Terminal

npm test                                   # vitest: frontend, route table, prerender, search lanes, browser lane
deno test -A supabase/functions/fetch-registrar-prices/parsers_test.ts   # price-source parsers (fixtures from the real pages)
deno test -A supabase/functions/_shared/pipeline_test.ts                 # availability pipeline

Benchmark

scripts/bench/first-answer.mjs measures what a cold visitor sees on the stopwatch: each visitor is a fresh browser that loads the home page, pauses, types a name nobody has checked and stops when the first verdict paints. It needs Playwright (npm i playwright && npx playwright install chromium in any scratch folder, then node first-answer.mjs); the bench-first-answer GitHub Actions workflow runs the same script from a US runner on demand. Numbers quoted on the site come from these runs, with date, location, sample size and percentile.
