How We Earn

Full transparency about how The Vibe Namer makes money.

The Short Version

The Vibe Namer is free to use. We earn money through affiliate commissions from domain registrars. When you find a name you like and click through to register a domain, the registrar pays us a small referral fee. You pay the same price whether you come through us or go directly.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click a “Register” button on our results page, the link includes a tracking parameter that tells the registrar you came from The Vibe Namer. If you complete a domain purchase within a certain time window (usually 30 days), we earn a commission. Here is how that typically works:

What We Don't Do

  • We never let affiliate relationships influence which names our AI generates. Names are generated based solely on your business idea.
  • We never prioritise one registrar over another based on commission rates. We show the options we believe are most useful.
  • We never charge you more than you would pay going directly to the registrar.
  • We do not sell your data or use advertising trackers.

How to Identify Affiliate Links

Every affiliate link on our site is accompanied by a disclosure statement such as “Affiliate link — we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.” Links that take you to external registrar websites are marked with an icon. If you prefer not to use our affiliate links, you can always go directly to the registrar's website and search for the domain yourself — we won't mind.

Why This Model

We chose the affiliate model because it aligns our interests with yours. We only earn when you find a name you genuinely want to register. This means our incentive is to build the best possible name generation tool — not to harvest your data, show you ads, or lock features behind a paywall.
