Super interesting! Does this allow you to send from said email as well?

Hmmm...I'm debating between Porkbun, Iwantmyname and Domain.com - which one do you guys think I should add next?
Suggest checking out Dynadot - they always run some promos and I typically get .com for 99 cents first year. Then they are $8.99 including proxy/privacy. I had many of issues over the years that were flawlessly solved with Dynadot chat support. Issues I was unable to fix with NameCheap (who has all customer support team in Eastern-block of Europe, so "made in America" does not apply), and also GoDaddy gave me issues.…
Thanks a lot for these suggestions - I've noted them down and will check them out!
And re: Namecheap CEO's behavior - that's quite sad to hear. Nonetheless, my experience with them has been mostly positive though :')

#83Slap Forward Email on your new domain and you've got email. https://forwardemail.net
I just got a domain for the first time yesterday, and decided to go with migadu.com instead.
You can forward mail to/from gmail with it basically the same, it has a very low sending limit on the free plan (but I'm not sure if that applies to mail forwarded from gmail), and it claims to attach a footer on the free plan (like forwardmail.net does), but it doesn't actually seem to do so to mail forwarded from gmail. https://www.migadu.com/en/guides/gmail.html
Meanwhile it has it's own webmail/pop3/smtp servers so it will be easy to move away from gmail entirely in the future.
I also just really liked the tone of the website, I have a lot more confidence in them not doing scummy things than I do in forwardmail.net not doing scummy things (though that is just based on reading a website, not the most reliable indicator ever).
Anyways, we will see in a few months if I think I made the right choice.

I really like Migadu is offering - since I don't really send that many emails at the moment, I think the 10-email limit isn't too bad! And if it doesn't really attach a footer, that's even better! Thanks for sharing!
Re: One-Word Domains
#85I think you should totally track the .it TLD, it's the Italian one but works wonderfully for word plays in English (and if iirc I've seen a few websites taking advantage of it). Some straightforward examples that come to mind would be buy.it, ship.it, design.it etc., you name(.)it ;) Edit: also, being the Italian TLD I'm guessing quite a few English words are still available
You have to be in the European Union to register one though. No more English speaking countries in it except for Malta.
Awww, damn it. Got my hopes up for .it tld

#86Hey everyone! Maker of One Word Domains here. I recently launched this on Product Hunt and got some pretty good feedback there and was looking forward to launching it on Hacker News as well but oh well, someone did it for me To give you guys some backstory, I was dabbling around with Flask the other day and decided to build something that I would’ve loved to use when I was trying to find a good name for my startup -…
I'd love to see https://porkbun.com added as a domain option. Consistently the cheapest registrar for me, at least for the first year (example, most .coms for me are around: 4.15 / year, renews at $8.56)

I've been moving domains from Namecheap to Porkbun due to ever increasing renewal prices, it's something like $5 cheaper per domain with Porkbun. I didn't see the 15x increase you saw though.
Hmmm...I'm debating between Porkbun, Iwantmyname and Domain.com - which one do you guys think I should add next?
I've been pleased with iwantmyname.
They also do some cool organizational stuff and are pretty transparent.

I would take a look at Epik.com, customer support is good, and prices are decent.
I like their new nameliquidate service, a reverse auction for domains. I usually post domains there that I’m not going to renew.

Sure thing, I really appreciate your site by the way! There actually are services that list good available domain names already but they all want to sell you the list before you can even know if their list is any good, so I've never bothered. As for extra-small, I used Google Domains to check it, it certainly seems to be registered as of May 16th. https://domains.google.com/m/registrar/search/whois/extra-sm... I did…
Interesting! I didn't know that Namecheap was into domain name squatting but I guess the cat's out of the bag now! As for the note, I'll have to figure out how to do that because right now, all I can do is filter out the premium domains - which I suppose are the ones that are being scalped, right? Also, thank you for your kind words! And wow, I didn't know that people would actually sell lists like this - I was just…
How do you know that it’s the registrar (namecheap) that owns it and not one of their customers?

Decent ones become available as dropped domains from time to time. The whole dropping domain process is convoluted, gross and benefits big players, but I have seen some decent ones fall through the cracks.
Interesting! Though I think there are sites that track newly-dropped domains - park.io is one of them - and they are doing it pretty well already so I definitely recommend checking them out!
Epik has a list of the pending delete domains for the next few days in advance. You can download the list.
There are good names that sell all the time. You just need to catch them or use a backorder service like namejet, dropcatch, etc.
