OnlyComs
OnlyComs turns a plain-English description of your project into a list of available .com domain names, availability already checked. It is free, needs no account, and links each suggestion straight to registration at Namecheap.
What is OnlyComs?
OnlyComs is a single-purpose domain name generator: you describe a project in one sentence and it returns a grid of .com domains that are still free to register. The description goes to ChatGPT, which invents candidate names, and OnlyComs then checks each one before display, so the list never raises hopes for a name somebody already owns.
The narrowness is deliberate. Despite the spread of new extensions, the tool offers nothing but .com, on the view that this is the extension people actually want. Its creator, software developer Sandis Klakovskis, built it for himself: launching side projects always began with the same hunt through synonyms, prefixes and suffixes. When the ChatGPT API arrived he wrote the generator in fourteen lines of code, then wrapped a user interface around it and released it publicly. The site's own name nearly came out of the machine, since the first script proposed justcoms.com, which he adjusted.
Everything happens on one page. A text box takes the description, a Random idea button will write a project brief for you if you only want to explore, and a progress indicator walks through searching, checking availability and wrapping up. Results appear as cards; a More results button reruns the generation on the same prompt, and a note explains that a thin harvest usually means most candidates were already taken.
The business model is visible rather than hidden. Each card opens a pre-filled registration page at Namecheap through an affiliate link, and the privacy policy states that the site earns a commission on those purchases. There is no account, no paywall, no quota and nothing to buy from OnlyComs itself.
What the site does not publish matters just as much: no company name, no address, no terms of service, no mention of the GDPR, and a single email address in the footer. The tool has run without interruption since March 2023, and its author considers it finished, describing it as essentially feature-complete and built to do one thing well.

Pricing & Plans
OnlyComs is free of charge in full. There is no paid plan, no subscription, no credit pack and no trial period, and consequently no lowest price point to quote: the site publishes no pricing page at all. The service is funded by the affiliate commission it earns when a user registers a suggested domain at Namecheap, which the privacy policy discloses. Registering the domain itself is of course payable, but to the registrar and not to OnlyComs.
Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how OnlyComs handles your data.
GDPR overview
There is no GDPR implementation to report, because the site never mentions the regulation. Neither the word GDPR nor any reference to the General Data Protection Regulation appears on either of the two pages OnlyComs publishes. No legal basis is stated, no data subject rights are described, no data protection officer is named and no Article 27 representative is designated. As no company or postal address is published either, there is no identifiable data controller to address a request to. The privacy policy is limited to four statements: search queries are not stored on the site, OpenAI logs them for thirty days, affiliate links may earn a commission, and personal information is not shared with third parties. What is recorded here is therefore a complete silence, not a stated refusal to comply.
Who owns the data?
OnlyComs publishes no terms of service, so nothing contractually settles ownership of what you type or of the names it returns. Its four-line privacy policy states that search queries are not stored on the site and that personal information is never shared with third parties. In practice one third party does receive your text: OpenAI, which generates the suggestions and keeps the queries for thirty days. No account exists, so no profile, history or saved list is held anywhere. The policy says nothing about who owns the generated names, a gap that matters little in practice since a domain becomes yours when you register it in your own name.
Reuse rights
Nothing on the site restricts what you do with the names it produces. There are no terms of service to grant or withhold a licence, and a suggestion is in any case only a string you remain free to register, use commercially or resell. OnlyComs claims nothing over your project description either. The single documented use it makes of your input is sending it to OpenAI so that suggestions can be generated. The site does make a commercial use of the results, however: every card carries a Namecheap affiliate link that earns a commission if you go on to register, an arrangement the privacy policy discloses in plain terms.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
OnlyComs declares no hosting jurisdiction. Neither of its two pages names a country, a region or a data centre, and there is no trust or security page where such information would normally sit. What can be observed from outside is infrastructure only: the domain resolves to a Cloudflare address, which is anycast and therefore says nothing reliable about where anything is actually processed or stored. The one processing location the site does acknowledge is OpenAI, which receives the search queries and keeps them for thirty days, though OnlyComs gives no indication of where OpenAI handles them. Analytics run on a self-hosted instance at a separate domain, which the privacy policy does not mention at all. Since the site states that search queries are not stored on its side and no account exists, the volume of data resting under its own control appears small, but that is a reading of what is declared rather than a verified fact.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting OnlyComs.
- No company, address or legal notice is published, so if the tool misfires or disappears there is nobody identifiable to turn to
- There are no terms of service at all, meaning nothing governs availability, liability or what the results may be used for
- The GDPR is never mentioned, no user rights are described and no data controller can be identified
- Whatever you type is sent to OpenAI and logged there for thirty days, so a confidential idea does not belong in the box
- The privacy policy states that personal information is never shared with third parties while naming OpenAI as a recipient: read that as a contradiction to resolve, not as a guarantee
- The site is paid by commission on the registrations it sends to Namecheap, which is disclosed but does steer which registrar you end up using
- Names are checked for registration availability only, so nothing here tells you whether a trademark already covers the one you liked
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
None to speak of. There is nothing to install, no account to open, no API key to obtain and no configuration of any kind. A browser is the only requirement: open the page, type a sentence, press the button, and results arrive within seconds. Registering a name you like takes one further click and happens on the registrar's own site rather than here. Anyone comfortable with a search engine will be comfortable with this.

Should you pick OnlyComs?
OnlyComs does one thing and does it visibly well. Feed it a sentence about your project and it returns a grid of .com domains that are genuinely free to register, verified before they reach the screen, which is the whole difference between a naming tool and a list of disappointments. It costs nothing, asks for no account, and earns its keep on the commission Namecheap pays when a suggestion turns into a registration. That model is stated in the privacy policy rather than buried, and it is worth knowing, because it also explains why one registrar and no other is ever proposed.
The counterpart is a near-total absence of governance. No company is named, no address is published, there are no terms of service, and the word GDPR appears nowhere on the site. The privacy policy runs to four lines, one promising that personal information is never shared with third parties while another explains that OpenAI receives your queries and logs them for thirty days. Those two statements sit awkwardly together, and at minimum the practical lesson is to treat the input box as public and not to type an idea you would mind a third party holding for a month.
Read that way, the tool is easy to place. For a founder, freelancer or side-project developer hunting for a name on a weekday evening, it is quick, free and a great deal better than a thesaurus. For anyone who needs a supplier they can identify, contract with, or hold to a data protection commitment, it is simply not that kind of service, and its author makes no claim that it is: he describes it as essentially feature-complete and built to do one thing.
