Domain check
This usually takes about 2 seconds. RDAP catches the case where a domain is registered but currently has no nameservers (expired-redemption, parked, just-registered).
Every phonic in the name carries weight. Here's what each segment does — read left to right.
abstract noun ending; in Sanskrit, 'great' or 'mother'
Soft, mother-feeling suffix. Lands warm.
e.g. Figma · Asma · Karma
Latin / suffix root

Round, bouba, full
O is the bouba/kiki experiment's round letter — across every language tested, a round shape gets associated with O-sound. Cross-cultural roundness. Best for friendly, premium, container/orb brands.
e.g. Sonos · Roku · Volvo · Otto · Onfido
radiant ring
Cosmic / sacred connotation. Soft H-onset, smooth landing.
e.g. Halo (Microsoft) · Halo Top
Greek root
Pairs machohalo with classical suffixes (-ex, -ius, -ium, -on), morphemes from the bank (ver-, lex-, pro-), and vowel mutations — then bloom-checks every candidate against the live .com zone file. Up to 400 candidates per click; only the available ones land here.

How we check. Step 1 (client-side): POST /api/check
with machohalo.com. The function hashes the SLD against our bloom
filter (built daily from the .com zone). Step 2 (only if step 1 said
"not in zone"): GET /api/rdap?domain=machohalo.com which HEADs
VeriSign's RDAP endpoint to confirm whether the domain is held at the
registry without active nameservers. Neither step logs your query.
