Dofo: A revolution for discovering domain names!

[Macit]

Hi everybody!

I'm Macit, co-founder of dofo.

I am very excited to announce that we have launched dofo.com as beta.

Dofo gets all the information you need on domain names, which is quick, easy, and free.

Our engineers go through the Internet with unique algorithms they develop, and provide you with tons of data on more than 330 million domain names, in a truly clear way. We aim to democratize the way people access domain name data and let you discover the Internet freely. Just as it should be!

You can search in all domain names:
For example just type "online" and see how many domain names contain "online".

There are tons of filters you can use:

Domain Filters
Keyword filter: contains, starts with, ends with, not contains, exact.
Extension filter: more than 1250 extensions.
Length filter: filter domain names by character length (1-63).
Hyphen filter: Do you want to see the domains include hyphens, or exclude hyphens or don't care?
Number filter: Must include, Exclude, May include (all).
Letter filter: Must include, Exclude, May include (all).
IDN filter: Must be, Exclude, Maybe (all).

Sale Filters
On sale filter: Yes, No, Maybe.
Price filter: $1 to $100,000+.
Sale type filter: Buy now, Offer, Offer with buy now, Bid
Marketplace filter: Afternic, Godaddy, Namejet, Snapnames

Whois Filters
Create date filter: Filter domain names by create date (1985 to today).
Registrar filter: Filter domain names by registrar company.
Registrant email filter: Filter domain names by registrant email address.
Registrant name filter: Filter domain names by registrant name.
Registrant country filter: Filter domain names by registrant country.

You can see all the information about a domain name:

• whois
• whois history
• sale info
• sale history
• dispute history
• website status

Check example.domain as a sample or enter any domain name.

Reverse Whois
You can see all the domain names owned by an email address. You can also look at these statistics about that registrant: extension, keyword, language, length and registrar statistics.

Example: https://dofo.com/registrant/[email protected]



Roadmap
This is our plan for near future:

• Make user interface multilingual & add at least 10 languages
• Add trends pages
• Add domain extension pages
• Add registrar pages
• Add user login feature
• Add domain follow feature
• Implement a more powerful Domain Name Language Detection (DNLD) algorithm
• Implement a smarter "Similar Domain Names" algorithm
• Create a mobile app

Currently, not all whois history we have shown on dofo.com. We will add billions of whois history data soon. ccTLD's are also not shown yet, but we will start to show them in a few weeks. After GDPR, we may remove the reverse whois and registrant information based features.

Note that: dofo is currently in beta. We are actively developing it. There are lots of bugs we are working on. We are releasing a new version every week.

Please share your comments and feedbacks. We examine any feedback of yours with utmost curiosity and definitely get back to you.

Thanks.

wow !! for free.. great tool.. i like it..

it takes a while to load.. myt be from my end tho..

i think i found something as good as namerdroppers or even better..

Thanks a lot We are trying to improve the site loading speed. In a few days, it will be at least 2x faster.

Thanks for this innovation. I'll try it out now

Thanks a lot

Just WOW! Excellent job so far!

Thanks a lot

Looks very good!

It seems to include hyphens and numbers in the search even though I selected not to show them

Edit: Figured out how to exclude them.

Thanks a lot Happy to see you figured out. Do you think it's easy to figure out this feature or not? (May Include, Must Include, Exclude)

Good but work on your site speed

Thanks a lot. We are trying to improve the site loading speed. In a few days, it will be at least 2x faster.

Great tool. Please add "Sedo" on marketplace filter.

Thanks a lot. We will add Sedo next week.

Very nice @Macit

Thanks a lot . Please also share your feedback.

Looks great
How do you plan to monetize it?

Thanks a lot Referral (registration, backorder, sale) is one of the monetization method in our plans. We will also have some solutions for registrar and registries in the near future.

It seems great so far,
Im quite impressed for the similar domains/lead generation potential

Thanks a lot. To be honest current similar domains feature is primitive. We are implementing our real "Similar Domains" algorithm ("semantic similarity) and testing it for a while. Early to say but it will be a very powerful feature


Thanks everybody. As I said we are still in beta. Please share your feedbacks and feature requests (For outside contribute please send email to hello[at]dofo[dot]com)

Just realized it is mobile friendly. That is great!

I do have one suggestion. Especially on mobiles, using the slider for domain length and price can be a litte bit tricky. Maybe it would be good if it were possible to enter desired values instead.

Very impressive! You are definitely upto something good my friend, Insha'Allah.

 

[Doron Vermaat]

Excellent job. Nice to see some innovation in our space and fresh ideas being executed!

 

[GoWebnames.com]

It's a reasonably good website but lot of room for improvement.
Like is there a way to search for "A or B or C or D or E" keywords?
If you try to paste in a text string of 10-12 words, the website just hangs.
Also, the interface feels a little THICK as compared to expireddomains.net.
Also, is there a way to SAVE your searches?

 

[ramkumaritrvs]

It was a great tool, after gdpr implemented all info's are hidden now.

you can show the domain history without any issue (I guess)

[ET76]

Wow! great tools, thanks @Macit

 

[Macit]

AWESOME!!!!! almost speechless

Thanks a lot

... I'll send an email to hello[at]dofo[dot]com

Thanks, we will be waiting for your email.

Great tool!

Please fix sorting by price, it doesn't work properly.

Thanks a lot.
Could you please let me know what's the problem exactly?

Cool... This will really aid newbies get familiar with domain tools and terms for no cost. Thanks

Thanks a lot

I tnink excluding hyphens, numbers and IDNs is a little bit confusing, and it seems not all IDNs were removed.

Apart from that, I am really impressed!

Thanks a lot.

You are right about the "triple checkbox". We tried lots of things for this feature, but "best" one was that. The problem here it is not a simple include/exclude option. There are three options:
1. May include (don't care this, don't filter, list all domains)
2. Must include (only list domain names that include "X")
3. Exclude (only list domain names that don't include "X")

X: letter, number, hyphen, IDN, etc.

Do you have any suggestion for this one?

For IDNs there is a bug we know and will be fixed in this weeks release.

Wow! great tools, thanks @Macit

Thanks a lot.

Very impressive! You are definitely upto something good my friend, Insha'Allah.

Thanks a lot. Insha'Allah, Insha'Allah...

Good and impressive service, loving it

Thanks a lot.

 

[Macit]

Did Francois Carrillo sell the domain?

Yes.

 

[Nahdism]

I like colorful websites as compared to monochromatic ones.

All the best. Gonna add it to my important list of domain tools

 

[CryptoInvestor]

Just realized it is mobile friendly. That is great!

I do have one suggestion. Especially on mobiles, using the slider for domain length and price can be a litte bit tricky. Maybe it would be good if it were possible to enter desired values instead.

Great Idea, I love the new update that lets us choose a specific price, before I was only able to budget $1-$1000 (quite the range).

This would be a WONDERFUL iphone app

As for the site, its just about replaced all my other Very much into DoFo

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. You are absolutely right. We have already noticed that because we are also using dofo.com regularly. We will do this soon.

Thanks a lot Creating a mobile app is in our roadmap.

Seems like a great tool. Would be better if there's an option for more/fewer results per page. Thanks.

Thanks a lot
We will add this option in the next versions, most probably at most in two weeks (results per page: 25/50/100/250).

@Macit @Kemal G Noticed that your platform has become quite faster/thorough in detecting domain registrations across different tlds. Better than any platform currently available. There is always some room for improvement though, and I have found that it isn't showing/detecting some registrations in .com.au.

Thanks for building such a wonderful tool
