Why this tool
Find available domains without checking each extension separately
What the free Domain Checker offers you.
All extensions at once
A name without an extension is checked against every extension you can register with us.
Checked live with the registrar
The same lookup as in our domain shop, so the tool and shop show the same result.
Prices included
Every available domain shows its annual price from our domain shop. If a full domain costs a different amount from the second year onward, the result shows both prices.
Available alternatives
When you enter a full domain, the tool lists the same name with other extensions, omitting those already registered.
Similar names
The tool can also suggest similar names, showing only those currently available.
WHOIS for taken domains
Click to run a WHOIS lookup showing the registrar, expiration date, and nameservers, where available.
Paste URL
Paste a full URL; the tool removes the scheme, www., path and port for you.
Share the result via a link
After the check, your input appears as ?domain= in the address bar, so you can share it.
How it works
How to check if your preferred domain is available
From idea to available domain in three steps.
Step 1
Enter a name
Enter your desired name without an extension, such as meinserver, a full domain like meinserver.de, or paste a complete URL.
Step 2
Check availability
Click “Check domain”. The tool checks extensions live and shows available domains first, each with its annual price. If an extension says “Not checked”, click “Check again” to retry.
Step 3
Register the domain or choose an alternative
Click “Register” on an available domain to open it in the domain shop. If your preferred domain is taken, choose an available alternative or open the WHOIS lookup.
Understand the results
Is the domain available? What the results mean
The domain checker shows one of four statuses for each domain. Available domains appear first, followed by unchecked, registered, and uncheckable domains.
According to the registrar, the domain isn't currently registered. You'll also see the annual price and a link to register it in the domain shop.
The domain is already registered. The WHOIS link shows the registrar and expiration date, where available.
The registry for this extension didn't respond in time. The domain is therefore confirmed as neither available nor taken. Click “Check again” to check these extensions again.
The input is invalid for this extension, contains characters the extension doesn't allow, the extension isn't currently offered, or the query limit has been reached. The reason appears beside the result.
“Available” only means the domain isn't currently registered. The tool doesn't check whether anyone else holds trademark or naming rights to it. Only registration secures the domain for you; checking it doesn't reserve it.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the Domain Checker
Quick answers about domain availability.
Each checked domain has a status: “Available”, “Taken”, “Not checked” or “Unable to check”. Available domains show their annual price, such as €11.90 for a .de domain or €22.90 for a .com domain, and a link to register them. Taken domains link to a WHOIS lookup.
Enter a name without an extension, such as meinserver, and start the check. The tool checks every extension we offer. Use the “Available only” filter to see only available domains. If you enter a full domain like meinserver.de, it checks that exact domain and lists up to eight available alternatives with other extensions.
All 72 extensions you can register with ZAP-Hosting, including .de, .com, .net, .org, .eu, .nl, .ch, .io, .gg, .fr. The tool can't check extensions we don't offer.
The tool checks availability live with the registrar, just like our domain shop. A result may be cached for up to one minute. Only registration is final: if someone else registers a domain in the meantime, it's taken.
Yes. You don't need an account or to sign in. To prevent abuse, there's a lookup limit per IP address, and the form waits a few seconds between checks.
Try another extension or one of the similar available names, if the tool suggests any. The WHOIS lookup shows the domain’s registrar and expiry date where available. Go to WHOIS lookup
No. The tool only checks availability; it doesn't register or reserve anything. A domain is registered only when you order it in the domain shop.
Yes. For a full URL, the tool automatically removes the scheme, www., path and port. Domains with umlauts are supported. If an extension doesn't allow certain characters, the tool shows this for that extension.
