honest feedback: the only thing with this, and most things like it is that it's not actually accurate.

type in best -> see it's "available" -> go to namecheap -> see it is not unavailable.

Once this happens once, you realize there's no point of going to the middleperson.

I always value critical feedback. Thank you.

I think you mean that you found a name that was suggested that was not actually available. Unfortunately, this does happen, but in my experience it is less than 1% of the time. The zone files for TLDs are missing some domains which are actually unavailable.

Sorry that you had a frustrating experience.

It's not really frustrating, but just feedback. It's way more than 1% of the time. Type in best and try out the first 5 examples -- 40% of them are inaccurately reported. FWIW every service akin to this has the same issue.

I had 1/10 be inaccurate when I did that, which is still not good enough. Its definitely something that can be addressed. Not easy, but fixable. Thanks for bringing this particular query to my attention.

Tabeth. Thanks for alerting me to this. I have addressed the issue. Now all the domains you see suggested should be available.
