The short answer
Is .guru a good domain extension?
Choose .guru when the operator teaches or advises in a clearly bounded field and can show relevant experience. Avoid it where the audience needs a regulated credential.
Consider another extension when
- Credentials or experience are absent
- The advice is medical, legal or financial without required qualifications
- The title is likely to sound self-important to the audience
Research brief
The .guru 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.

How to find a strong available .guru
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 .guru
Name the field in the label or title and make qualifications, scope and contact information easy to verify. Avoid a generic 'guru' brand with no specific promise.
- 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.
