Hey this is really cool. I’ve recently started learning python as a hobby, with the goal to eventually start full stack development. I was just wondering, since this is your first web app, how long have you been coding for/how long did it take to get up and running?

Thanks a lot for the kind words! I think you should definitely learn Python - it's a very versatile language, but for the full-stack I would recommend mastering JavaScript instead. As for me - I've been coding in Python at school for a while now (I'm a data science major) but I haven't really had any experience with the full-stack so I wanted to take this as a learning opportunity for me. In total, it took me a week…

Thank you :)

I’m currently choosing between doing my MBA and going full on into business management, or totally pivoting away and starting cs. So I’ll check this out

The fact that you can't open any of the sub links in new tabs (1 domain left, notify me) is just so damn frustrating. why make this as some stupid one page app?!

I apologize for the faulty user experience - I gotta admit, the file structure for my app is rather rudimentary, as this was my first time building a Flask app and I didn't really put much thought into file structuring. I'll make note of this and maybe make some changes to this in future versions of the app. Thanks a lot for your feedback!

I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to be too rude to you - I'm usually so polite online the rare times I even post.. its just that there's so many damn sites these days that do it - it totally breaks the normal/traditional browsing experience.

Again, thanks for being so cool, I didn't mean to really direct that at you- it was just a general "old man yells at cloud" kind of thing.

it's a great site btw, good luck with it!!

Create your own word?

I'm thinking of training a deep learning model on the top 10,000 startup names and use it to generate available .com domain names that could potentially be used for future projects as well. Not sure how feasible this is gonna be but I'm definitely gonna give it a try!

Yeah sounds like a fun project but also a bit overkill to me.

I would just take an existing word and change some of the letters.

Rivora, Espirole, Calind.

There ya go here's 3. Didn't check if they have domains or not but it really shouldn't take long to find a reasonable sounding 1 word untaken name.

It seems like there are services out there doing exactly that, i.e. https://zlipa.com

Be careful with namecheap. I used to use them for everything (and still have several domains registered with them), but one of my domains was a short word on an obscure TLD. This year they increased the price by 15x, and support tried to pass the blame by claiming "the registry decided it's a premium domain." The registry may decide whether a domain is "premium" or not, but I had no issues transferring it to Google D…

I had the same thing happen! I bought a domain a long while back, it auto-renewed and charged me more than $500 for 1 year. I've never used the domain properly and would have just let it lapse, they did warn me of the pending auto-renewal but I ignored it thinking it would cost $30 or something. This was for a `.club` TLD.

Mine was also .club, seems like they might be doing something fishy. I emailed ICANN about it and I'll update the comment above if I get a reply.

Hi there, I have what I think is a great domain, elope.to. The idea was to build an elopement app that sold elopement packages to various destinations, working with existing service providers in those locales (most wedding photographers provide elopement packages). Eg: elope.to/tahiti, elope.to/seychelles, elope.to/lasvegas I don't think I'll get the time to build it, so am considering selling. Which brings me to my…

I really like that idea! And yes, I'm actually considering adding a "Featured Listings" section where you can list your domains - feel free to sign up on the newsletter and I'll let you know when it's ready! :D

Great!

Even if you're doing business, it's always good to have a hard skill under your belt, so I'd say there's definitely no harm in mastering CS on the side! Good luck! :D

Hmmm...I'm debating between Porkbun, Iwantmyname and Domain.com - which one do you guys think I should add next?

I can vouch for iwantmyname. Great customer support that went above and beyond what they had to. They even worked with Protonmail to get my custom domain functioning.

Got it! Thanks guys - Iwantmyname actually reached out to me but I wasn't sure how legit they were since I've never used their product, but after you guys' testimonials, I think I'll add them to the next version of One Word Domains! :D

Yeah, there are certainly a lot of really cool products out there that does this...namelix.com is one of them as well. But damn, I really love Zilpa's UX! Thanks for sharing! :D
