Namechk is a free web application[1] created by David Goose and Jeremy Woertink. Namechk allows someone to view if a certain username is available. Namechk has over 98 different social network sites as of June 2019.[2][3]

The service also checks domains.[2]

In July 2022 the fraud-tracking site Hucksters.net exposed David Gosse,[4] the founder and CEO of Namechk, for conducting illegal email spam campaigns on behalf of Namechk using fake web domains such as namechk-mail.com, with help from Robert Lora,[5] an SEO consultant from Florida.

Alternatives

Knowem is an alternative to Namechk and contains over 500 different social network sites.[1][6]
