Hey all — I'm almost done building a bulk availability checker (currently .com only, paste up to 50k at a time, answers in ~seconds with 99.9% accuracy). Fully private. We don't store your lookups.

Before I lock in the v1, I'd love honest input from people who actually hand-check thousands of domains a week.

Giving away 1 free account (per member) with 100K searches monthly limit for 1 year to VIP and GOLD members who honestly answer the questions to help us best shape the product for heavy users.

1. How you check today​

Q1. Which tool do you primarily use for bulk checks? (pick one)

a) Namecheap bulk check
b) GoDaddy bulk
c) Dynadot bulk
d) NameSilo bulk
e) DomainTools / Expired Domains
f) Custom script (WHOIS / DNS)
g) Other (name it)

Q2. Biggest pain point with your current tool? (pick one)

a) Too slow on big lists
b) Inaccurate (false available / false taken)
c) Caps the list size too low
d) No export
e) Bad filters
f) Price
g) Other

Q3. Typical batch size per session? (pick one)

a) <1,000
b) 1k–10k
c) 10k–50k
d) 50k–250k
e) 250k+

Q4. How often do you run bulk checks?

a) Daily
b) 2–4× per week
c) Weekly
d) Monthly or less

2. TLDs — which are ESSENTIAL for v1?​

Q5. Rank these TLDs by how often you check them. Mark each as Essential / Useful / Don't care:

  • .com
  • .net
  • .org
  • .io
  • .ai
  • .co
  • .xyz
  • .me
  • .app
  • .dev
  • ccTLDs (.de, .uk, .in, etc. — name which)
Q6. If v1 launched .com-only, would you still pay for it?

a) Yes, .com is 90%+ of my work
b) Only if .net + .org included
c) Only if .io / .ai included
d) No, I need multi-TLD from day one

3. Accuracy​

Q7. When a tool reports "available," how often is it wrong (parked-for-sale, redemption, premium)?

a) Almost never (<1%)
b) Occasionally (1–5%)
c) Often (5–15%)
d) All the time (>15%)

Q8. Should "registered but listed for sale on Afternic/Sedo/etc." be:

a) Reported as TAKEN (strict registry truth)
b) Reported as a separate "FOR SALE" status


Q9.
A domain dropped 30 seconds ago. Acceptable for the tool to still say "taken"?

a) Yes, within 1 min is fine
b) Within 10 sec is fine
c) No, must be real-time always

4. Pricing — the real one​

Q10. What would you pay PER MONTH for each tier? (give a $ number for each, or "wouldn't pay")

  • 10,000 checks/month: $___
  • 50,000 checks/month: $___
  • 100,000 checks/month: $___
  • 500,000 checks/month: $___
  • 1,000,000 checks/month: $___
Q11. Prefer monthly quota or pay-per-check?

a) Monthly quota (predictable bill)
b) Pay-per-check (only pay for what I use)
c) Annual flat fee
d) Lifetime deal

Q12. If "unlimited" existed, would you use it for legitimate domaining, or do you know people who'd abuse it (resell as a registrar feed)?

a) Legit only, I'd use it heavily
b) Honestly, unlimited tiers get abused — capped tiers are smarter
c) Don't care either way

5. Input / output​

Q13. How do you typically feed domains into a bulk checker?

a) Paste from spreadsheet column
b) Paste comma-separated
c) Paste one-per-line
d) Upload .csv / .txt file
e) API call from my script

Q14. Most-needed export format?

a) .txt (available domains only)
b) .csv (full table with status)
c) JSON via API
d) Direct push to my registrar's cart

Q15. Would you pay extra for a REST API?

a) Yes, critical for me
b) Nice-to-have
c) Don't need it

6. Filters​

Q16. Pick your TOP 3 filters (only 3):
  • Keyword contains
  • Starts with
  • Ends with
  • Length min/max
  • Excludes numbers
  • Excludes hyphens
  • Only available
  • Only one-word / dictionary
  • Pronounceable filter

7. Open-ended (just two, optional)​

Q17. What's the one feature no existing bulk checker has, that would make you switch tomorrow?

Q18. What's a specific time you got burned by a bulk checker (lost a drop, false data, banned for "abuse")?
