Products that do what A live release of available domain names our generator found does
Hi HN! We've been having fun building a cool domain name generator and we'd like you to try it out. We're also releasing a bunch of available domain names ideas that our product generated in what we call "freebie sessions". The link above points to our first freebie session, where every few seconds a batch of available domain names will be released. What makes SneakyDomains different? - Shows only available domains (non-premium) - Real-time availability checking, no cached/stale data - Credit-based pricing (no subscriptions, no expiry) We're giving out 500 credits (1 credit /…

Hello HN, About a month ago, I posted an "Ask HN" to see if there was any interest in having daily available .com domain name lists. The names would all be appropriate for startups, blogs and websites, nothing else. While the response wasn't overwhelming, it was quite positive and a few individuals got me motivated to go through with this. I decided to go with the free newsletter format so I could keep some form of exclusivity for the subscribers, giving them a better chance at getting a name they before somebody else gets to it. You can find the old discussion here:…

I tend to use AI to brainstorm domain names, but I kept wasting time pasting each idea into Namecheap to see if they were available. So I built DotComBuddy - it generates ideas (using DeepSeek V3 - switched from GPT-4o after realizing quality was just as good) and checks availability in real time via Name.com’s API. Built with Next.js and Vercel’s AI SDK, the app gives you a table of available domains with their price. 10 free searches to try it out, then $9/year (what I’d pay to never do this manually again). Sharing this for anyone else tired of switching tabs to check domains. Happy…

This project came from my own personal need. There are many AI based domain name generators on the market but most of them don't check for availability. Hopefully it helps someone else.

Every now and then I see these posts where people post the domains they purchased for XYZ side project that is clearly not happening. But considering how difficult it can be to find a good name, its always nice to see what people are willing to part with. Post your domains!

Last weekend I built Domainotron.com, which uses GPT-3 to generate domain names for you, and then shows you the best available domain names. It’s free, accurate, fast, and surprisingly creative. And I built it in a weekend using an AI-enhanced IDE (more on that below) Just type in a short description of your business, website, or product idea and within a few seconds you’ll have domain names ideas being generated and validated for you. Unlike other domain name generator tools, all domains generated by this service are verified available, no “premium” parked domain names for thousands of…

Hey there, HN people! I would like to share with you a little tool I've been working on this year. It's called Newsy https://www.newsy.co Problem I have more than 30 domains that I've bought over the years. I plan to (eventually) do something with them, but meanwhile, they are un-used and just sitting there. I want to use them somehow. I know there are a few impulsive domain buyers out there! :) My Solution I wanted to turn my un-used domains into something useful without me having to do too much work. So I created Newsy https://www.newsy.co It turns your un-used domains…

Someone is selling a list of available three, four, and five letter .io domains that are available for $20. This - https://gist.github.com/4111298 - generates a list of available .io domains of any length (user specified). And, its free. (I'm away from my computer, so it isn't tested, but I ran it in repl.it). Edit - this is the seller - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4804627
