Hey 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)

Can you add Epik as a domain option as well?

Are you the author? If you're new to marketing: domains with a dash in them are considered seconds rate to domains that don't have a dash.

Yes I am! And I totally get it - I'm pretty much a branding geek myself. I've been debating whether to remove the dashes even when I first started building the site, and this just gives me more reason to remove them from the word list. Stay tuned for the next update! ;)

Yeah I wouldn’t ever use a hyphenated domain for your primary site. Ok to register it and 301 redirect it to your site, but if you use it for your primary site you will lose traffic to the non hyphenated version.

I love/hate these kind of projects. On one hand they give amazing suggestions and prove useful to small scale devs like me and others coming here. On the other hand, a few weeks from now most of them will be snatched by squatters, essentially rendering them useless for small scale devs like me and others coming here.

Hahaha, I'm sorry about this! I've come to realize how this site can be used with malignant intent - even domain registrars could be stalking this site and bump up the prices for domains that people have been viewing a lot. I guess I can just hope that these things don't actually happen and that I've built a tool that can help people find their dream domains. :')

It is a great tool nonetheless, thanks for sharing it!

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 :')

I recommend adding .is. Recently opened up and plenty of single words available, partially because they are only available for purchase from a few sites - NameCheap is the best and cheapest.

Sure! Feel free to add a suggestion at the "Suggest a TLD" section on the homepage - I'm trying to gauge which TLD is to most wanted to figure out which one to support next. ;)

Look at ntldstats, you can see the most popular tlds. I’d start with the most popular ones like .xyz and .icu with the most domain registrations.

Does a domain have to live on Namecheap / Godaddy to get looked at? My domains are on Google Domains.

Slap 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. htt…

I'm the founder of Forward Email. We are 100% open source and privacy focused. We're the only service like this. Nobody compares in terms of respecting your right to privacy.

Migadu also limits you number of going mails a day. This is insanely bad practice, not to mention... have you read their Terms and Privacy policies? Steer clear for sure.

There is absolutely NO footer on the free plan. Where are you getting this information from? Are you just making false attacks to support your own service?

I have reported you to moderators.
