Show HN: My weekend project, A domain name hack and semi-mass domain search

by thedevelopment on 10/19/2010, 11:44 PM with 7 comments

Hey HN, I was always sick of trying to find available domain names for other side projects, so I came up with this. It'll check availability of .com, .net and .org, as well as any domain name hacks available (gimpish -> gimpi.sh). It's Sinatra and EventMachine driven.<p>Enter a few words in the name field to try it out! e.g. apple, microsoft, reddit, purplemonkeydishwasher<p>Feedback muchly appreciated!

    It's giving me wrong information for .org domains

    On my first search, it shows chat.org and wizard.org as being available. Not so.
