## What is a domain availability checker?

A domain availability checker is a tool that queries whether a specific domain name can be registered under one or more extensions. DomainDiscovery’s instant search returns live-style free, registered, or premium signals as a snapshot — re-check at registrar checkout before you pay.

## How it works
1. Enter a domain name or brand keyword.
2. Review free / registered / premium-style results across many TLDs.
3. Shortlist winners, then register at a third-party registrar.

## Direct answer: Is domain search free on DomainDiscovery?
Yes. Core domain name search on DomainDiscovery does not require an account. You only pay a registrar when you choose to register a domain.
