It is quite annoying to find out that your preferred username has been taken <\/strong>while filling out a login\/ registration form<\/a> for an account on a website. Thankfully, a website called NameCheckr<\/a> can help ease the registration process by letting you check for name availability<\/strong> on a wide range of websites and domains across the Internet.<\/p>\n

Using NameCheckr is relatively straightforward as all you need to do is to enter a name into the search box<\/a> and press \"Enter\"<\/strong>. The website would then begin scouting the listed websites<\/strong> to see if the name has been taken. If the name is available, a green checkmark will appear <\/strong>on the upper right hand corner of the website\u2019s logo; if it isn\u2019t, a red mark will appear at the same location.<\/p>\n

\"domains<\/figure>\n

Aside from checking various social network services for name availability, NameCheckr also checks for name availability on a wide range of domains<\/strong>. This includes common domains such as \".com\"<\/strong> and ,\"net"<\/strong>;, as well as more obscure domains such as \".cc\"<\/strong> and even location-based domains like \".us\"<\/strong> and \".ru\"<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to launch your own website sometime soon<\/strong>, NameCheckr is a great place to see if your name is available for use.<\/p>\n
