Search .software namesGood fit when
- Product launches, AI tools, developer utilities, and startup naming rounds.
- Run the full domain through live availability before committing brand work.
- Short roots often work better because the suffix already carries meaning.
Watchouts
- Check registrar support first because not every suffix is sold everywhere.
- Use live registry data for the final decision, not cached marketplace assumptions.
