Featured Names
Browse by Industry
Names grouped by where they fit best. Most names can work for more than one industry, so use these groups as a place to start.
The Best .com Names Were Registered Years Ago
You find the perfect name. Then you learn the .com was registered years ago. You look at .io, .co, or .ai, but you know many customers will still type .com. You try adding words like “get”, “try”, “hq”, or “app”. Every new version sounds worse, or is also taken.
The reason is simple. The best names, especially the short ones, were registered a long time ago. Many were registered decades ago. The names you can still register today are the ones nobody wanted.
Almost every name on Halstor was registered fifteen or more years ago, and many are over twenty years old. We find these names, check each one by hand, and offer them to founders who need them.
Pay Monthly, Own It Fully
If a name costs more than you can pay today, you can still get it. On select names, you pay monthly and own the name at the end. You can use the name from the first day.
Make your first payment and start using the name right away. Connect it to your website, set up email, and launch.
Pay monthly for the agreed number of months. The term depends on the name and is shown before you buy.
After your final payment, the name transfers to you. You own it fully, with nothing left to pay.
Rare Names
