Re-checked at the .com registry · November 14, 2026
The .coms people try first are gone: every three-letter name, all but 3 four-letter ones, every one of the 25,000 most common English words. We look names up in bulk at the registry and keep what is left: 113,575 .coms in four lists. These 48 are the best of them, checked again today.
Chosen by reading through the lists for names that are easy to say, spell and remember, then looked up at the .com registry again: none was registered. Each opens a live check, with the price and a link to register.
For 24 kinds of business, we joined the words of the trade to plain brand words and looked every name up at the .com registry on November 4 and November 5, 2026. Each page lists the free ones, with our picks first.
Each list is every free name of its kind we found, filterable, with the full results to download (CC BY 4.0). The counts are the day of each check; names registered since are taken off the lists as we find them.

The full numbers are in the study are all 3, 4 and 5-letter .com domains taken? Once a free name is on a list it can go fast: see how fast free domain names get taken. If a short name matters more than .com, see four-letter names in .io, .ai, .app and .dev, three-letter names in .fm, .gg and .sh and one-word .ai domains.
Each list comes from a study that looked up every name of its kind at the .com registry’s own nameservers, and every name without nameservers in the registry’s registration record, since a registered name can be on hold without DNS. The names on this page were looked up both ways again on November 14, 2026. A name that was registered and has since expired counts as free. Nothing here is for sale by us: we do not own these names, and registering one costs the registrar’s normal price.
