Question 1

How does namemyapp work?

Accepted Answer

We use advanced AI to generate creative, brandable business names based on your description. Unlike other generators, we check domain availability in real-time across multiple registrars, so we only show you names you can actually buy. Describe your project, select a name, and purchase—all in one flow.

Question 2

What makes namemyapp different from other domain tools?

Accepted Answer

Our Availability-First Guarantee. Traditional name generators show you creative suggestions, but most are already taken. We flip this—every single name we show is verified available. Plus, we offer integrated checkout with logo, email, and legal docs, so you don't need 5 different vendors.

Question 3

Is searching for names free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Searching for names and checking availability is completely free with no limits. You only pay when you decide to purchase a domain or subscribe to premium plans.

Question 4

How fast is the name generation?

Accepted Answer

Our AI generates 20+ available, curated domain suggestions in under 5 seconds. We use parallel processing and intelligent caching to make the experience instant.

Question 5

Do I need an account to search?

Accepted Answer

No, you can search and browse results as a guest. You'll only need to create an account when you're ready to purchase a domain or save favorites.

Question 6

How does the AI name generator work?

Accepted Answer

Our system uses a hybrid approach: (1) Lexical generation creates hundreds of word combinations from synonyms, metaphors, and linguistic patterns; (2) Bulk availability checking filters to only available names; (3) AI curation ranks the best options by brandability, memorability, and relevance to your description.

Question 7

What kind of descriptions work best?

Accepted Answer

The more context, the better. Instead of "task app," try "AI-powered task manager for freelancers who juggle multiple clients." Industry context, target audience, and desired vibe (modern, playful, professional) all help the AI generate more relevant suggestions.

Question 8

Can I regenerate if I don't like the results?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! You can regenerate as many times as you want for free. Try adjusting your description or adding different keywords to get varied results.

Question 9

Does the AI avoid trademark conflicts?

Accepted Answer

Our AI is trained to avoid obvious trademark conflicts with major brands. For additional peace of mind, we offer an optional USPTO Trademark Search ($9.99) that scans the official trademark database for potential conflicts.

Question 10

Why don't I see premium domains?

Accepted Answer

By default, we hide premium domains (aftermarket domains with inflated prices) to avoid sticker shock. You can toggle this setting to show premiums if you want to explore higher-value options.

Question 11

Do I actually own the domain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 100%. When you purchase a domain through namemyapp, you are the legal registrant with full ownership rights. We act as the interface to the registrar, but the domain is legally yours. You can transfer it to any other registrar anytime after the ICANN 60-day lock period.

Question 12

What TLDs do you support?

Accepted Answer

We support 500+ TLDs including .com, .io, .ai, .app, .dev, .co, .net, .org, .tech, .xyz, and many more. We prioritize modern, tech-friendly extensions that founders love.

Question 13

Can I transfer my domain later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ICANN requires a 60-day lock period for all new registrations (this is an industry-wide rule, not our policy). After that, you're free to transfer your domain to any other registrar. We provide the auth code and full support for transfers.

Question 14

What happens if a domain becomes unavailable during checkout?

Accepted Answer

In the rare case a domain is taken between search and checkout, we'll catch it before payment and alert you immediately. You won't be charged for an unavailable domain—ever.

Question 15

Do you support internationalized domain names (IDNs)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we support IDNs for many TLDs. Enter characters from non-Latin scripts (like Chinese, Arabic, or Cyrillic) and we'll check availability where supported.

Question 16

How do renewals work?

Accepted Answer

Domains are registered for 1-10 years (you choose). We send renewal reminders 60, 30, and 7 days before expiration. Auto-renewal is enabled by default but can be disabled in your dashboard.

Question 17

How do I set up DNS for my domain?

Accepted Answer

We provide a visual DNS editor in your dashboard. For common setups, we offer one-click presets for Vercel, Netlify, Railway, Render, and more. Just select your hosting provider and we'll configure the records automatically.

Question 18

Do you provide nameservers?

Accepted Answer

Every domain includes standard DNS management AND Premium DNS — Cloudflare's edge network with DDoS protection, analytics, and faster propagation, free on every plan including Explorer. You can also use your own nameservers if preferred.

Question 19

Is there an API for DNS management?

Accepted Answer

API access is on our roadmap for the Agency plan. Currently, all DNS management is through the dashboard, but we're building programmatic access for power users.

Question 20

How long does DNS propagation take?

Accepted Answer

Our Cloudflare-backed DNS typically propagates in minutes, not hours. We also provide a propagation checker in your dashboard so you can monitor status in real-time.

Question 21

Is WHOIS privacy included?

Accepted Answer

Yes! WHOIS privacy protection is included FREE on all domains. Your personal information (name, address, email, phone) is hidden from public WHOIS lookups and replaced with proxy details.

Question 22

Do you provide SSL certificates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every domain gets a free SSL/TLS certificate auto-provisioned via Let's Encrypt. Your site will be secure with HTTPS from day one—no configuration needed.

Question 23

How is my payment information protected?

Accepted Answer

We never store your credit card details. All payments are processed securely through Stripe, which is PCI DSS Level 1 certified—the highest level of payment security certification.

Question 24

Can I enable domain locking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, domain locking (registrar lock) is enabled by default to prevent unauthorized transfers. You can temporarily disable it from your dashboard when you need to transfer out.

Question 25

What about GDPR compliance?

Accepted Answer

We're fully GDPR compliant. You can export or delete your data at any time from your account settings. We only collect data necessary to provide our services.

Question 26

Do you offer email hosting?

Accepted Answer

We offer FREE email forwarding on all domains (up to 10 addresses). Forward addresses like hello@yourdomain.com to your existing inbox. For full business email with dedicated mailboxes, we're integrating professional email hosting (coming soon).

Question 27

How do I set up email forwarding?

Accepted Answer

From your dashboard, go to Email settings, enter the alias (e.g., 'hello') and the destination email. We'll automatically configure the DNS records. Takes about 30 seconds.

Question 28

Can I have multiple email forwards?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can set up unlimited email forwards per domain. Create hello@, support@, sales@, team@—whatever you need.

Question 29

Will forwarded emails end up in spam?

Accepted Answer

We configure proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to maximize deliverability. Forwarded emails should arrive in your inbox normally, though the original sender's reputation also matters.

Question 30

How does the logo generator work?

Accepted Answer

Our AI logo generator uses OpenAI's DALL-E to create unique, professional logo concepts based on your brand name and industry. You get 4-10 variations with different styles, and all files in PNG, SVG, and vector formats.

Question 31

What's included in the Logo Kit?

Accepted Answer

The $19.99 Logo Pack includes: 4 AI-generated logo concepts, each in multiple formats (PNG transparent, PNG white background, SVG vector), brand color palette, and a favicon. Perfect for launching fast. It's included FREE with the Founder plan!

Question 32

Can I request revisions?

Accepted Answer

The basic Logo Kit is AI-generated without revisions. If you need custom modifications, contact us about our Pro Logo service ($99) which includes human designer refinements and unlimited revisions.

Question 33

Do I own the logo commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you receive full commercial rights to use the logo for any business purpose. There are no royalties or attribution requirements.

Question 34

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) via Stripe. We also support Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link for faster checkout.

Question 35

Are there any hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

No hidden fees, ever. The price shown at checkout is the price you pay. We include WHOIS privacy, SSL certificate, and Premium DNS with DDoS protection — all free on every plan, including Explorer. The only paid add-ons are Logo Pack, Legal Kit, Brand Kit, and additional email forwards.

Question 36

Do you offer refunds?

Accepted Answer

Domain registrations follow ICANN's 5-day grace period policy for full refunds. After that, domains are non-refundable (this is industry-wide). Subscription plans have a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Question 37

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Cancel from your dashboard with one click. Your subscription benefits continue until the end of the billing period, and your domains remain yours (they don't require a subscription).

Question 38

Do you offer discounts for annual billing?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Annual subscription plans include 2 months free compared to monthly billing. We also offer volume discounts for Agency plan customers registering multiple domains.
