Questions
Does Windsurf check if the domains are available?
Yes. NameStation checks every domain live against registry data before Windsurf shows it, so a name marked available can be registered now. Names that could not be checked are labeled unchecked.
How much does NameStation cost in Windsurf?
NameStation needs a paid plan or the free 3-day trial. Searches cost the same as on namestation.com: 10 credits to generate names or find available domains. Checking domains, screening trademarks, and saving lists do not use credits. You can set a monthly credit cap for each app or key.
Do I need an API key to use NameStation in Windsurf?
No. Windsurf signs in to NameStation with OAuth and you approve the access on namestation.com. API keys are only for bots, scripts, and automations.
Which tools are included?
Find available domains, generate name ideas, check domains in bulk, screen names against USPTO and EUIPO trademarks, save shareable name lists, and read your plan and credit balance.
