How does the domain name evaluator score your domain idea?
Enter the full domain, including the extension, and press Evaluate. The script scores the label and the extension, then lists each change to the score. Nothing is sent to a server. A higher score means an easier name, not a name you can register and not a trademark clearance.
- The score starts at 40, then adds or subtracts the rules in the table below.
- A leading www is ignored so the label, not the prefix, is what gets scored.
- The total is clamped between 0 and 100. The line items stay visible.
- Read the trademark and availability notes. They are not part of the number.
What factors affect domain quality (length, pronounceability, hyphens, TLD, trademark risk)?
Short labels without hyphens or digits are easier to say and to type. Vowels help people pronounce the word. A repeated character and a very long label both lower the score. The guide on how to choose a domain name walks through the same checks before you pay for a name.
| Factor | How this score moves |
|---|---|
| Length | Largest boost at 4–12 characters in the label. Very long labels lose points. |
| Hyphens | Each hyphen in the label costs 14 points, up to 28. |
| Digits | Each digit costs 7 points, up to 21. Heard names get mistyped. |
| Vowels | No vowels costs 12. Enough vowels to say the word adds 8. |
| Repeat | The same character three times in a row costs 8. |
| Extension | .com and .in add 12. .co.in adds 10. .net and .org add 4. |
| Trademark | Not scored. This is not a trademark search and not legal advice. |
Should you choose a .com, .in, or niche TLD for an Indian business?
A .com and a .in are widely recognized for an Indian business, and .co.in is a common company form. A niche extension can fit when the word and the extension read as one phrase. Say the full name aloud. Confirm registry rules on the registration page, not in this score.
| Extension | How to use it |
|---|---|
| .com | Familiar outside India. The score adds 12. It does not mean the name is free. |
| .in | Familiar for an Indian business. The score adds 12. Registry rules are separate. |
| .co.in | A common company form. The score adds 10. Say the dots when you read it aloud. |
| Niche | No extension bonus. Keep it when the word and the extension are one phrase. |
How do you check live availability and register your shortlisted domain?
When the score looks right, check domain availability before you commit to the spelling. A domain name generator can widen the shortlist if this one is taken or clumsy. For a resale figure, see how much a domain is worth. This score does not answer that.
- Keep the names that scored well and that you can say once on a phone call.
- Check whether each spelling is free. This page does not query a registry.
- Register a free name with a registrar. Quality is not a booking.
- Leave resale price on the valuation guide. Do not treat this number as a price.
