Domain Hunter (/domain)

An 11-step workflow that brainstorms brandable .com names and verifies availability, aftermarket price, trademarks and social handles.

UtilitiesIntermediate★ 822⑂ 67AI score 9/10Last updated: Sep 4, 2026

What it does

  • Applies Laura Roeder's rule — work backwards from what's actually available — by setting a budget first, brainstorming 20–40 candidates, then checking them.
  • Combines vercel domains check/price, whois (with correct per-TLD server discovery via IANA), RDAP, Domainr and the Namecheap API, resolving every candidate to exactly AVAILABLE / TAKEN / UNKNOWN; timeouts, 403s and RDAP 404s are never silently marked available.
  • For taken names it composes HugeDomains / Afternic / Sedo / Dan lookup links, probes the domain itself to see if it's parked, dead or a live site, and estimates drop dates (~80 days post-expiry) so you can backorder instead of negotiating.
  • Only for the final 3–5 names does it run USPTO trademark screening via agent-browser plus X/LinkedIn handle checks, then buys at whichever registrar quoted less.

Who it's for

  • Founders and indie hackers naming a new SaaS or side project.
  • Anyone who assumes "all the good .coms are gone" but has a few hundred to $2k budget.
  • Developers who want registration status from ground-truth sources instead of guesswork.

Examples

  1. "Find a domain for an AI meeting-notes tool, budget $1,000" → 30 two-word candidates, then bucketed into available now / aftermarket under budget / drop.
  2. "What's orbit.com going for?" → whois status and expiry, liveness probe for a parked lander, plus direct marketplace pricing links.
  3. "Trademark check for Paperbell" → drives the real USPTO search SPA, screenshots the top Live marks and explains class-level collision risk.
