Question 1

How do I check if a domain is available?

Accepted Answer

Enter one or more names and DotSeeka queries the registry directly for each one. Results come back as available, taken, or unknown, usually within a second per domain.

Question 2

Can I check multiple domains at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paste up to 2,000 names, one per line. They are checked in parallel rather than one after another. Measured throughput is about 28 domains a second on a single ending, so a thousand .com names take roughly 35 seconds.

Question 3

Is DotSeeka free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes — everything is free right now, with no paid tier. Domain availability checking needs no account at all. AI name generation asks for a free account, because each run costs real model time and an account is the only identity a daily allowance can honestly follow.

Question 4

Why do some domains show as unknown?

Accepted Answer

When a registry does not answer, rate-limits the request, or returns something ambiguous, DotSeeka reports unknown rather than guessing. A false available is the one wrong answer that costs you money, so it is never reported on incomplete data.

Question 5

How accurate is the availability data?

Accepted Answer

Queries go to the registry's own RDAP service, falling back to port-43 WHOIS when RDAP cannot answer. Any available result is additionally checked against DNS: if the domain resolves, it is reported taken.

Question 6

Does searching a domain risk someone else registering it?

Accepted Answer

No. DotSeeka does not sell domains and never sells or shares searches. Anonymous search statistics are kept to understand demand, but are never linked to an account, device or IP address. Domain front-running concerns come from search boxes operated by registrars who also sell domains.

Question 7

What TLDs can I check?

Accepted Answer

Over 1,200 TLDs via the IANA RDAP bootstrap, including .com, .net, .org, .io, .ai, .dev, .app and country-code domains.

Question 8

Can I export my results?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Results export to Excel with a filterable header row and status-coloured rows, or to plain CSV. The export always matches the filter currently on screen.

Question 9

How does the AI domain generator work?

Accepted Answer

You describe the business in plain language and pick the endings you want. Every suggested name is then checked for real availability, so the list you get contains names you can actually register.

Question 10

What is RDAP and how is it different from WHOIS?

Accepted Answer

RDAP is the structured JSON successor to WHOIS, standardised by the IETF. WHOIS returns free-form text that varies by registry and must be parsed heuristically; RDAP returns predictable machine-readable fields, which makes it both faster and less error-prone.
