Small agencies
Check before the client falls in love with a name
Run every extension and the handles in one pass, read the renewal price before you quote the client, and keep the shortlist on one watchlist.
Use cases
Four jobs ZoneVouch does well today
Each job lists what works now. Examples tagged Illustrative use invented names; untagged numbers are from our engine on 9 October 2026.
Founders naming a product
You name it once and live with it
Check the .com, the alternatives and the handles together; read the score's unscored columns as carefully as the scored ones. When the .com is taken, diligence tells you what the holder has done with it.

Portfolio owners
Your shelf and your shortlist
Portfolio shows what you own and when it expires; watchlist holds what you might want. Removing a name is one action, and nothing renews or buys from here.
Researchers and journalists
Who holds a domain, and since when
Registration dates, locks, DNS records and archive history for a domain, each with its own outcome. Today the archive lookup can time out; when it does, the report says so.

When to use something else
- You need a name today and want to buy it now. Buying is off. Use a registrar directly; ZoneVouch can still tell you the real renewal price first.
- You want alerts when a site goes down. A monitoring service does that; for the current state of a name, run a check.
- You want to buy a name from its current owner. We don't run a marketplace.
