FAQ

How do I come up with a name for an online course or coaching program?

Lead with the outcome your students get, then make it brandable enough to grow past one cohort or topic. Say it aloud and have someone spell it back from hearing it, since most discovery happens through podcasts, webinars, and word of mouth. Avoid puns that are hard to type or tie you to a single module.

Do I need a .com for a course or coaching business, or is .academy or .coach fine?

A .com is the most trusted and what people guess first, so we rank it ahead of everything else. On-theme endings like .academy, .courses, or .coach read clearly and can work, but check nobody already holds the .com with your exact name. Note that some niche extensions renew higher than .com, so read the terms first.

How do I make sure my course name is not already taken or trademarked?

An available domain is not legal clearance: a live badge here means the URL is free to register, not that the name is yours to use. Run a free USPTO trademark knockout search in the education and coaching classes, and check Udemy, Teachable, and app stores for an existing program. If anything is close, ask a lawyer.
