Confirmed Status (via web search)

TAKEN (Confirmed)

• hive.io - Major blockchain project (Hive blockchain for Web3)
• hive.co - Marketing automation platform for live events (founded 2014, 65 employees)

Likely Unavailable

• hive.sh, hive.to, hive.link - Given "hive" is a common word and active brand, very likely registered
• hv.io, hv.sh, hv.to - Two-letter domains are typically premium/reserved or already registered

Pricing Research

TLD	Registration	Renewal	Notes
.sh	$30-35	$33-35	Premium domains higher; 2-letter often reserved
.to	$50	$50	Min 2-year registration ($100), registry: Tonga
.io	$27-55	$45-68	Popular for tech; Cloudflare $45, others vary
.co	$10-26	$26-30	Price increases in 2025/2026
.link	$5-15	$15-20	Cheapest option

Key Findings

1. Two-letter domains (hv.*) are typically premium/reserved across all TLDs
2. Three-letter domains (hvn., hnv.) - ~95% of .io three-letter combos are registered
3. Four-letter domains (hive., hivn.) - Common words like "hive" almost certainly taken on premium TLDs
4. .to domains require 2-year minimum ($100 upfront) - significantly higher cost
5. .link domains are cheapest but lowest brand recognition

Limitations

Web searches cannot return real-time domain availability. The following require manual WHOIS/registrar checks:

High Priority to Check:

• hvn.sh, hvn.io, hvn.co, hvn.link, hvn.to
• hivn.sh, hivn.io, hivn.co, hivn.link, hivn.to
• hnv.sh, hnv.io, hnv.co, hnv.link, hnv.to

Lower Priority (likely taken/reserved):

• All hv.* combinations (2-letter premium)
• All hive.* combinations (common word)

Recommendation

Given search limitations, recommend:

1. Focus manual checks on hvn.* and hivn.* variants (best brand alignment after "hive")
2. Check hnv.* as backup
3. Prioritize .sh, .io, .co over .to (cost) and .link (recognition)
4. Use Porkbun or Namecheap bulk domain checker for efficient verification
