- The business is advisory rather than hands-on
- The word is confused with a platform feature
- A professional category is more precise
Research brief
The .build facts that change the decision
This page separates registry policy, public market evidence and registrar pricing. A sample is labeled as a sample; a rule is labeled as a rule; and a checkout quote is never presented as a registry statistic.

ICANN build registry transaction report (202604)Availability without guesswork
How to find a strong available .build
Treat availability as the start of the decision, not the finish. A usable name also needs to be easy to communicate, defensible and fairly priced.
- 01
Start with a name that earns .build
Add a noun that identifies the object being built or the audience. 'Build' alone is broad; a focused label makes the domain memorable.
- 02
Search the exact label first
Keep the search scoped to this extension, then compare the exact label with closely related endings before accepting a spelling compromise.
- 03
Check rights and pronunciation
An available result is not trademark clearance. Say the name aloud, check local implications and review the registrar’s final eligibility rules.
Pricing explained
What does a .build domain cost?
The useful number is the full cost of ownership, not the largest promotional figure on a registrar banner.
Price coverage is not available for .build yet. This page does not invent a number. A verified row will appear after the next registrar collection or an admin-approved override; the partner checkout remains the final source for the exact name, premium status, tax and renewal terms.
Compare the full .build ownership cost
Compare .build pricing with .engineering and .dev, including renewal and transfer terms. Construction keywords can carry premium pricing.

AI naming tools
Use AI for ideas—not fake availability
Copy a focused prompt into your preferred AI assistant, then paste the names it finds into FlashDomains Bulk Search. Test the whole shortlist together—AI can explore language, but live registry and registrar signals confirm domains.
Generate .build name ideas
Create 25 .build names for [construction, maker or software project]. Label each physical, technical or community use and reject names that sound like a generic agency.
Score a shortlist for clarity
Score these possible .build names: [paste shortlist]. Assess pronunciation, spelling, category fit, unintended meanings and sentence flow. Do not claim availability, trademark clearance or monetary value. Return the strongest three with risks.
Create clean variations
The preferred label [name] is unavailable as a .build. Suggest concise variations that preserve its meaning and suit construction, product building and developer delivery. Reject forced spellings, hyphens and numbers. Do not claim availability.
These prompts help generate and evaluate .build ideas. They do not confirm domain availability, trademark status or price.
