Short Available .COM Domain Name Finder and Availability Checker

iName is a short .com domain name finder and bulk domain availability checker that returns available domain names from a continuously maintained database of sub-8-character names. No scraping a registrar in real time — the availability data is already checked and waiting. You provide keywords or just ask for the top results, and the actor returns what is actually registrable right now.

iName Features

• Return up to 100,000 verified-available .com domain names in a single run
• Filter results by keywords with 4-gram indexed substring matching — fast even at scale
• Run without keywords to get the highest-priority available names, ranked and ready
• Names under 8 characters only, because the good .com namespace is a finite resource and the long names are not the good ones
• Availability is pre-verified against real registries, not guessed from WHOIS heuristics

Who Is This For?

• Domain investors — scan for short .com names that slipped through the cracks, filter by niche keywords
• Startup founders — find a brandable name without paying the "premium domain" markup that someone invented to ruin your day
• SEO practitioners — source keyword-rich short domains for microsites, redirects, or portfolio plays
• Side project builders — grab a clean four-letter .com before your weekend hack needs a name on Monday
• Agencies — pull bulk lists of available names to present client options without manual registrar searches

How iName Works

1. The actor connects to a pre-built database of short .com domain names with verified availability status. No live crawling of registrar sites happens during your run.
2. If you provide keywords, it uses a 4-gram index to find substring matches across the name pool and returns only names marked as available. If you skip keywords, it returns the top available names ranked by priority.
3. Results are written to the dataset with the domain name, availability status, and the timestamp of the last availability check.

FAQ

How does iName know which domains are available? iName maintains a database of short .com names that are continuously checked against real domain registries (Route53, Namecheap, RDAP). The actor queries this database rather than performing live lookups, which is why results come back fast.

What counts as a "short" domain? Names under 8 characters before the .com. Four to six characters is the sweet spot — long enough to be a word, short enough to be worth something.

Are the availability results current? Each record includes a lastCheckedAt timestamp so you can see exactly when it was last verified. The database is refreshed regularly, but domain availability changes constantly. Confirm with a registrar before purchasing.

Why do keywords need to be at least 3 characters? The substring search uses a 4-gram index. One- and two-character keywords would match too broadly and return noise. Three characters is the floor for useful results.

Can I run this without any keywords? Yes. Skip the keywords field entirely and iName returns the top available names ranked by internal priority scoring.

How do I find available short .com domain names in bulk? Set maxItems to the count you want, up to 100,000, and run the actor. iName returns a bulk list of available short .com domain names in one run, with or without keyword filtering, so you can export available domains for an entire niche without manual registrar searches.

Why Use iName?

• Pre-verified data — no waiting for live WHOIS lookups or rate-limited registry APIs; the checking is already done
• Short names only — the entire database focuses on sub-8-character .com domains, which is the only namespace where scarcity makes names worth finding in the first place
• Keyword search at scale — 4-gram indexing means substring matching across the full pool stays fast, even when you are pulling thousands of results
