Most domain checkers rely on a single data source and quietly guess when it fails. DigMyName runs two independent availability signals on every name — RDAP resolved through the IANA bootstrap registry, and DNS-over-HTTPS across three resolvers — and escalates to a third, Fastly Domain Research, whenever those two are not enough: an uncertain answer, a premium suspect, a brand-blocked name, the zones with no RDAP, and the name you typed. It only commits to Available or Taken when the signals agree; otherwise it shows an Unverified state with a Retry button instead of a guess.
Pricing is a separate step: premium prices come from Porkbun's live catalog and the registrar comparison covers 6 registrars. DigMyName is not a registrar and does not sell domains; buy links go straight to the registrar with no affiliate tag.
