Show HN: Is My Website Taken?
- brandonhsiao 13y agoDisclosure: I made this site explicitly as an alternative to instantdomainsearch. So far, I like my UI better (who doesn't love angry bears?), but they appear to be faster still...
- sam1r 13y agoLove the overall concept! How is this different from iwantmyname.com? Although it does lag sometimes, it still covers a wide range of TLDs.
- riffraff 13y agoI think you may be overloaded so it takes about 7 seconds for me to see the result of the autosuggest. Hence, I think you should at least have an activity indicator :)
- brandonhsiao 13y agoAlso, the funny thing is that now that it's on HN, it is no longer "faster," as the footer proclaims. :(
- onion2k 13y agoGreat idea, but that name just screams "entitled". It's not my website unless you actually own the name. :)
- brandonhsiao 13y agoThe entitlement is for the user to feel! That's what the bear is for. He's angry that someone took his domain name.
- onion2k 13y agoHaha. Good save. :)
- nkuttler 13y agoWould never use for fear of domain snatching. Yes, I've seen it happen.
- brandonhsiao 13y agoHow would that happen? Like my server saves your searches and quickly registers them before you? Wouldn't I have to have a load of money for that to be viable on my part?
- nkuttler 13y agoYou can review the domains, even automate parts of the review process.
- cmwelsh 13y agoI'm fond of www.bustaname.com for combining keywords in every combination.
