Show IH: Domain price comparison tool

Hey IndieHackers 👋

Just launched NameTracker (https://nametracker.fyi) - a domain availability checker with price comparison across registrars.

What it does:
Search a domain, see availability + prices from Namecheap, Name.com, NameSilo side-by-side. Found price differences of $10-15 for the same domain.

The problem I'm solving:
I was domain shopping and got annoyed tabbing between registrar sites. Prices varied weirdly. Built this for myself, now seeing if others find it useful.

Tech stack:

  • Go backend (domain availability APIs)
  • Next.js frontend
  • Redis caching
  • Deployed on GCP
  • Frontend on Cloudflare

Monetization:
Affiliate links to registrars when users click through. Early stage - no revenue yet.

Current state:

  • Just went live this week
  • Haven't promoted yet (starting now)
  • Planning to add more registrars

Questions for IH:

  1. Is price comparison actually valuable, or do people just use whoever they know?
  2. What features would make you use this over going directly to Namecheap/GoDaddy?
  3. Any obvious registrars I'm missing that you actually use?

Trying to figure out if this scratches a real itch or if I'm solving a problem nobody has.

Honest feedback appreciated 🙏
