Show IH: Curated list of available domains
Hello fellow hackers 👋,
We have made this weekend project from a CSV list of available domains we've been maintaining in the past few years.
What we have done from design/dev perspective is:
Landing page to show random domain from our personal curated list of available domains
Connect Gumroad as payment service, $9.99 for full 260 domains list
Protect from web scrappers = custom script that checks visits per second
Re-check each domain availability on 24h = cron to Domainr API
Link to domain registrar as affiliate = currently on Name Cheap/still not finally decided which one to use
Check it, and please share what you think 🙏
Hi Alex, I suggest you to use DynaDot affiliate since they are cheapest registrar for new and renewal both and hence it does make more sense to us( buyer) to purchase from there.
I have added Namecheap, Hover, Name.com & GoDaddy as options and have applied for DynaDot affiliate and waiting for response, but will add it without the referral link right now.
Thanks for the suggestion.
The problem with Dynadot is that there is no way to pass a domain as a query string, for example I can link to:
https://www.dynadot.com/domain/search.html
but can't pass the current domains such as:
https://www.dynadot.com/domain/search.html?domain=test.com
Added Dynadot. I've tested again today and actually it appears you can pass the domain name in url 😮
https://www.dynadot.com/domain/search.html?domain=test.com
