The problem it solves

Checking whether a domain name is free to register means opening GoDaddy, typing it in, and waiting on the page to load, which adds up if you're testing several name ideas at once. This does the lookup for you the moment you need an answer.

Who it fits

Anyone naming a new business, product, or website who needs to check domain availability quickly.

How it works

  1. You submit the domain name you want to check
  2. GoDaddy's records are queried for that name
  3. The availability status is returned
What you get

Seconds you don't spend checking one name

You can check whether a domain name is available to register in an instant.

What you get

A clear yes or no on whether the domain name you want is available.

What you need

A GoDaddy developer API key and secret.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
