FAQPage Schema
How do I check if a project name is available across npm, GitHub, and domains?▼

Name availability checking across npm, GitHub, and multiple TLD domains is done by running a script that takes candidate names as arguments or file input and reports which are free.

Can I verify multiple brand names in batch instead of checking them one by one?▼

Does name verification work for all top-level domains or just .com?▼
