Handles first, then the domain

A parked domain has a price tag. A dormant social handle usually has no seller at all, so the order matters: find a handle that's free on the networks you care about, then choose the domain that matches it. We check YouTube through its official API and probe TikTok, X and Instagram, and we're honest when a probe can't confirm.

For domains we look at .com, .io, .app, .dev, .co, .ai, .xyz. If the .com is gone but .app or .dev is free, we say so, because for most software products that's a perfectly good home. See which TLD to pick and how to keep one name across platforms.
