Namelix is great for brainstorming business names. But it has one massive flaw: you can't actually buy the domains there.
You find a name you love, click to buy, and get redirected to GoDaddy or another registrar—only to discover the domain is already taken or costs $5,000.
Sound familiar? There's a better way.
The Namelix Problem
Namelix generates names without checking domain availability first. Here's what typically happens:
- Generate 20 names on Namelix
- Find 3 you actually like
- Check if domains are available
- Zero available in .com
- Maybe 1 available in .io (maybe)
- Back to step 1
We ran a test: 100 names generated on Namelix, then checked domain availability.
Results:
- 19% had available .com domains
- 34% had ANY available domain
- 66% were completely unavailable
That's a lot of wasted time.
What Makes namemyapp Different
namemyapp was built specifically to solve this problem. Here's how:
Availability-First Generation
Our AI checks domain availability BEFORE showing you results. Every single name you see is guaranteed to have an available domain.
No more falling in love with a name, only to discover it's taken.
Integrated Registration
Found a name you like? Buy it directly. No redirects to third-party sites. No surprise pricing. No upsells.
Just click, pay, and it's yours.
Free WHOIS Privacy
Other registrars charge $10-15/year for WHOIS privacy. We include it free with every domain. Your personal information stays private without paying extra.
Real-Time Pricing
See exact domain prices before you click. No hidden fees, no "premium domain" surprises at checkout. What you see is what you pay.
