Finding a domain name: a practical checklist
A good name is memorable, easy to say and easy to type. Here is how to evaluate your ideas.

Domain availability check
Is your preferred domain available?
Enter your full preferred name, for example deine-idee.at. Search checks that exact address first, then loads alternative extensions. .at: €12.99 total price for the first year, then €15.99 total price per year.

Custom nameservers supported. Hosting and mailboxes are separate.
Full pricing details ↗A domain check tells you whether an address can currently be newly registered. You do not need a customer account to search. An available result is the starting point for your order; it does not reserve the name.
Check the complete name
Include the extension when you have already chosen one. For bergatelier.at, that exact address matters; bergatelier.com is a separate registration. Without an extension, search starts with .at. Compare .co.at and .or.at deliberately with the direct .at address: the extra part belongs to the name and must also appear on business cards and email addresses. Example domains on this page are illustrative; this page makes no claim about their availability.
- Check spelling before searching.
- Include your preferred extension.
- Assess each alternative separately.
Available, taken or not yet checked?
A name confirmed as available can be added to your order. A taken domain cannot be purchased as a standard new registration. An empty website does not mean the domain is available: it may be used only for email or other services. When a check is still running or encounters a technical error, the status is unresolved. Wait for the result or try again rather than interpreting a missing result as availability.
- Taken does not mean unused.
- Recheck an unresolved status.
- Choose a distinctive alternative when needed.
From an available name to an order
Before buying, check both the first-year price and renewal. Review every character in the basket and use accurate holder details. Availability is checked again before ordering and can change. Confirmed registration is what matters. The availability check does not check trademark rights. After successful registration, your domain and DNS management appear in your account.
- Compare registration and renewal.
- Review holder details and email carefully.
- Follow the order status through confirmation.
CLEAR COSTS FROM THE START
Register today. Plan for renewal.
You order a standard .at domain for one year. Additional years use the applicable renewal price; renewals are currently handled manually through your account. Review the name, holder details and complete total before paying.
