Domain Watch emails you when a domain name is listed for sale on an aftermarket or its price drops. It's like camelcamelcamel.com for domain names. Currently supports the following "Buy It Now" aftermarkets: Afternic, Sedo, Spaceship SellerHub, Atom, Namecheap Market, Porkbun Marketplace, Gname. You can watch up to 3 domains for 60 days with the free plan. Support for auctions is coming soon. Why I made this: 1. To know where and when I could buy the domains that I wanted to buy, ASAP. 2. Empower other domain name buyers with marketplace awareness, data, and an improved shopping experience.…

WhatsNew?▲112Hey HN, I built FlyingStart to help indie makers and startup founders launch with a memorable brand identity, without wasting days (or weeks) hunting for a good name that’s actually available. Every name on FlyingStart is unique, brandable, and comes with a matching domain, ready to use out of the box. Unlike typical domain marketplaces, none of our names exceed $1,000 — we keep prices low so you can invest your money where it matters most: your product. I created this because I’ve seen too many founders get stuck at step one — the name. FlyingStart aims to remove that friction so you can…

Hey HN. This is a weekend project of mine. It's an idea I had after seeing so many comments here about the lack of available .com names for startups. As PG once said: "Take a luxury and make it into a commodity"[1]. So, I decided I'd try turning name consulting from something only large corporations could afford to something anyone could. I hope you'll take me up on it :) If you'd like to see a few examples of my work, just check out the links in the footer. Thanks for your attention. [1] http://www.paulgraham.com/ideas.html

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 -…

Last Wednesday (Jan 29th) I made a ‘Show HN’ post on Hacker News for Dictionary Domains. Seems it struck a chord; the post remained on the front page for the entire day! I thought it’d be interesting to write a recap of (1) the traffic that came in, (2) the number of domains bought

I've noticed that in the IndieHacker space, there are two distinct groups of people. Group 1: Have a million ideas, a thousand unused domains in their registrar account, and 15 projects that they're currently working on. Group 2: Have the drive to start something, but for the life of them can't find a good idea to start working on. I wanted to try and make a tool on my site that will bridge the gap between these two groups. The idea is this: People from group 1 can list a combination of a domain, logo and business plan on the site. You can list it for sale on any platform such as Gumroad,…
