We launched an API for custom hostnames today. A simple HTTP post with a hostname gets a temp hostname with CNAME/a record instructions, as soon as DNS is setup we issue SSL and start accepting traffic for that hostname. It's the quickest way we know of to provision custom hostnames: https://fly.io/mix/custom-hostnames/ When we started building Fly, we figured it was too late to "make SSL easy and the customers will come". Lets Encrypt changed the world, and we knew many companies rolling their own SSL support with nginx, Traefik, etc, etc. It seemed like a…

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…

Hi HN, You know that feeling when you have a brilliant idea at 2am, buy the domain immediately, and then never touch it again? Last month I sat down to figure out how much money I've been bleeding on domain renewals, and honestly, I was scared to look. I had domains scattered across GoDaddy, Namecheap, and a few other registrars I barely remember signing up for. I did what we all do: I built a tool for it. It's basically "Spotify Wrapped" but for all those domains you bought and forgot about. Connect your registrars manually, and get: - How many domains you have - Total renewal costs -…
