About this list
Every .name listing is verified the same way as the rest of the directory. Availability is re-checked against the live DNS root over DNS-over-HTTPS, and a listing that turns out to be registered is removed. Referring domains are counted from our own web crawl, not from a paid link index. Site history comes from archived captures: the archived snapshot count and the span of years the site was captured. Revised Score blends link-graph centrality, referring domains and site history into one 0 to 100 grade, computed across the whole directory.
Compare the .name listings on age, referring domain band, named linking sources, site history and Revised Score before choosing one. Browse the featured order here, or use the filters to pivot into the full directory. Search, filters and sort are free, signed in or not.
