Handles are harder to get back than domains

A parked domain has a price. A dormant handle registered in 2011 has no seller and no transfer process, so the order matters: find the handle that's free on the networks you care about first, then choose the domain to match. We slug your name the way each platform does, respect their length limits, and tell you when a name had to be shortened to fit.

YouTube is checked through its official API and is reliable. TikTok, X and Instagram are probed and sometimes block automated checks, so a result there is a strong signal with a link to confirm rather than a guarantee. Read how to keep one name across every platform.
