Namechk
namechk.com
Checks username and domain availability across dozens of social networks and platforms simultaneously.
Namechk checks whether a username or domain name is available across many social networks and web platforms at once. Type the name you want, and it reports where it is already taken and where it is free, so you can pick one handle that works everywhere.
It is useful when launching a brand, project or personal profile and you want consistent names. Availability results are a snapshot, and a few platforms block automated checks, so confirm on the site itself before committing. It also helps in the other direction, to see where a name you use is already registered.
Why it is useful
Rather than manually checking a desired username on each platform one at a time, Namechk queries dozens of social networks, forums, and domain registrars in a single search — useful for securing consistent branding across platforms or for OSINT research into where a username is already in use.
