Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why SwiftDomainSearch.com, why not a domain registrar ?

   Good question. Average time spent finding a good domain name has more than multiplied over the past few years. You need to be ready to spend reasonable amounts of time and patience using the tools some of the domain registrars provide. Secondly this post might change your opinion about where you do your domain name searches

2. How safe are my searches?

   We do not track, sell or lease any information about domain searches done on SwiftDomainSearch.com We do not query any external applications (whois servers) thereby eliminating the risk of information transfer. This is a delibrate step taken to ensure privacy at the cost of slight degradation in quality. We are simply put, not in the business of selling domain names directly or otherwise.

3. What's the best way to search?

   Select only the tld's that you are interested in and start typing. Do not include www. in the beginning. Your results will be displayed almost immediately. Once you find the domain you like and would like to register, click on the register link, select from the choice of registrars or go directly to any domain registrar of your choice and register the domain.

4. I see a domain name listed as available on SwiftDomainSearch.com but is unavailable when I try to register it at a domain registrar ?

   This may happen for the following reasons.

   • Someone else registered the domain between the time you searched on SwiftDomainSearch.com and tried to register it with the domain registrar of your choice.

     Unlikely but possible scenario. To reduce the chances of such an event, do not put off registering the domain. Once you find a name that meets all your objectives, register it.

   • Recently expired or about to expire.
   • Invalid or no nameservers.

5. Do I need to download any tools to access SwiftDomainSearch.com?

   Nope, all you need is a Javascript enabled browser. Ofcourse you need to be connected to the internet.

6. My browser does not seem to work well with SwiftDomainSearch.com.

   We currently test on the following browsers

   • I.E 6+
   • Firefox 2+
   • Safari 3+
   • Opera 9.24

   This does not mean you cannot use an older browser. You can use any browser as long as it supports javascript. Please ensure that javascript is enabled on your browser.

7. Sometimes I dont see any results when I run a search on SwiftDomainSearch.com.

   SwiftDomainSearch.com uses JavaScript technology to lookup and display domain availability results. You most likely have configured Anti-popup, anti-spyware, anti-virus or firewall software to block JavaScript.

   Also some browser extensions, such as FireFox GoogleBar can interfere with Javascript.

8. Where can I submit my feature requests?

   Use the feedback form.

9. How can I request the addition of tld's and cctld's?

   Use the feedback form. Dont you simply love using the feedback form. :) Anyway, this is how it works. Based on the number of requests we get for a particular domain extension, the same will be included in the lookup options.

10. I'm too lazy to type SwiftDomainSearch.com. Why dont you have a shorter name?

    We would loved to have a shorter name but believe me when I say that the market out there is crowded. But not to worry, you can use w3swift.com
