HN Domain Exchange: Add your unused domains

78 pointsoozcitak15y ago125 comments

I registered a domain for a project a year ago and lost interest after about six months. Still I think it is a decent domain name and I don't want to release it in the void. I'd much prefer if a HNer would get it from me and build it into something great.

If you are similarly sitting on cool domain names from abandoned projects or weekend hacks, here is a google spreadsheet for you to share them:

These spreadsheets are always vandalized, abandoned and then forgotten. Usually they go through that entire cycle within a single day.

If you are serious about it then find a better platform, or whip one up in django/rails.

aes15y ago

Indeed - I see that ycombinator.com is up for trade on that spreadsheet.

You might want to send a confirmation to the legitimate contact email address obtained through whois before accepting exchange propositions.

P.S. domainnameexchange.com seems to be available

> I see that ycombinator.com is up for trade on that spreadsheet

I'll take it! ;)

I really like the idea of a pure domain exchange - no transfer of money, just a straight domain swap service. No obvious business model in it though.

Not anymore. I went to register it, and it's gotten by James Davis.

Confirmed, having just checked the spreadsheet.

citricsquid15y ago

It didn't take long for people to start offering for sale domains, heh, I guess that's just as bad as vandalism.

I wonder if this could work as a dedicated website, I wonder what the overhead associated with functioning as an escrow for trading domains would be, I can imagine it could face some legal troubles when it goes wrong for someone. Hmmm...

soult15y ago

Hi, I am also interested in karmawhores.net, I liked the website and would like to see it back up again (it would be awesome if you still have the db + source too). If edash doesn't want it, you can mail me @ soult@trid.inbox5.com.

I'm interested in yours...email me?

http://www.TutorialShop.com - bought many years ago, can't seem to come up with a good enough Tutorial model for this site. Willing to partner or trade.

barlo15y ago

I'd be very interested in this domain for a tutorial site for new developers. I have several domains I'd be willing to exchange, or we can work out something. Shoot me an email if you're interested, my email is in my profile.

Thanks

jason_slack15y ago

I was looking for a domain similar as I am writing small iphone/ipad apps to teach science and other concepts to kids. e-mail in my profile.

rasiel15y ago

I don't see your email in your prof. mine is rasiel at gmail

rasiel15y ago

Just thought i'd let anyone else interested in this domain that i've found a possible partner & the domain is currently in use.

thanks HN

jasonmcalacanis15y ago· 2 in thread

three killers domain I own (and what I paid):

- kokua.com (5k) (to help in hawaiian)

- 20.com (70k) (20 means location on radio)

- aday.com (40k) (as in joke.aday.com, ".... A day.")

- lowimpact.com and noimpact.com (10k)... wanted to do a green blog.

If there were technical founders who wanted office space, angel backing and me as a founder/partner, I'd consider using one of the domains. You would have to be willing to live/work in Santa Monica (a really nice place to live fyi), I'd be open to any pitches....

i had my own ideas for each domain, but with Open Angel Forum booming (8 cities, 24 events a year... going to 12 cities, 36 events per year next year), Mahalo booming (20m uniques a month) and ThisWeekIn.com on fire (25 shows, $1m run rate, 14 employees in < 6 months) I'm too busy to lead new companies.

oh yeah, i'm hosting the launch conference on Feb 23rd and 24th and launching the email newsletter. so, that's like five companies in a year on top of my 15 angel investments a year.

ping me jason at mahalo.com

srepetti15y ago

To add to what Jason said, I own 5g.com and would likewise entertain similar ideas/participation -- and would combine with other opportunities/partners for the right group: steve at radwebtech.com

jat85015y ago

I wonder if that name has some serious potential marketing for Sprint/AT&T/Verizon or whatever when their networks advance further. Already Sprint pushes "4G", and while it may be meaningless (or at least poorly representative), they might still be interested in that particular domain?

mattculbreth15y ago· 2 in thread

No, use this instead:

http://www.idlingdomains.com/

This came out a few months ago and there's a collection of URLs up there already.

westy15y ago

This seems to rely on whois records. For those opting to avoid public whois info, this doesn't seem to have much value.

acgourley15y ago

www.bathtubfood.com - would love the hear the story behind that one.

jeremymcanally15y ago· 2 in thread

Cute, someone just deleted the whole spreadsheet. This is why we can't have nice things.

Anyhow, I have a few I'd be willing to sell: meeep.com, crapucopia.com, lolwhut.com, railsapplication.com, rofflez.com, taxonome.com, tweetannotations.org/.info, youshouldbuymesomething.com, webuildwebapplications.com/.net/.info

Just want to sell them; not interested in startup equity, you aunt's horse, or sharing an apartment in the Bay in exchange. :P

jnoller15y ago

Some sick part of me really wants lolwhut.com

- ProgrammerCookbook.com - Was gonna be where people code post code examples for various different languages etc.

- ConTickets.com - Think ticket master for Con's.

- FearCore.com - Featured Halloween stuff

- MyCollegeBlackboard.com - Was gonna make tools for when I was in college to help me study (Flash cards, etc. did some work with it and I got it to be able to import a lot of material that the textbooks offered on their supplemental sites.) Also wanted to offer grade trackers and a lot of other things.

- nTheMarket.com - eBay type site, may revisit this pretty soon.

- UndergroundGamer.com - never really done a lot with it.

There's a lot more, but those are the ones that I had really planned out.

I own the domain lifelytics.com

At some point, I wanted to start a startup doing life analytics. Sorta like RescueTime, but for your real life and not just your internet life. Instead of your browser, it would use your phone (which most people have on them 24/7) to collect metrics on your life.

I'm probably not going to get around to doing this in the near future, so I'd be willing to sell it to someone who would have better use of it.

jeffepp15y ago

Interested in the aff names and to learn more about your app if you ever made any progress with it. :)

natgordon15y ago

I didn't make any progress :)

The idea was to connect your different affiliate accounts to give you real-time, rich data about aggregate sales. But in order to access this information on behalf of the affiliate marketer you need to overcome a huge trust barrier (eg. with access to their cj account you can view their ssn).

I own a lot of domains, but the best of them all would have to be http://meatgalore.com I bought it with the intention of making a meat focused groupon type site, but upon realization of its awesome porn potential the project kind of died.

I'd be willing to part with it to someone who wants to make a kick ass gay porn site. Its not really a profit thing for me. I just want a story to tell.

yan15y ago

Hah, that reminds me. I own meatlobby.com because it came up in a conversation and as soon as I heard those two words together, I whois'd and bought it.

tcarnell15y ago· 1 in thread

Nice - Would be cool to create a similar spreadsheet for the opposite - domains wanted - or domain names suitable and available for different types of apps/sites

jcl15y ago

How would that be useful? If you want a domain and it's available, you can just register it. If it's not available, then listing it here won't change its availability and -- worst case -- will make it more expensive.

A list of available and suitable domain names seems like a bad idea... We already have squatters snapping up expired names. Publishing a list of useful and desirable names practically guarantees that someone will register the whole list just to squat on them.

CWIZO15y ago· 1 in thread

Great idea. I've put one on the list.

Also, it's amazing to watch how multiple users are editing the document at once.

marklabedz15y ago

I sat looking at the spreadsheet for a couple of minutes watching everyone edit. I wonder if there are any larger volume use-cases and what load it creates. I've never had more than 3 people concurrently editing a sheet before.

eob15y ago· 1 in thread

Here's a "help wanted" post instead of a "for sale":

I want to do a research-oriented tech podcast but I'm looking for a cool name. If anyone can think of one (and has the domain to match), I'd be willing to pay as much as I can scrape together.

151+ Unregistered .co Domains startuppers/HNers may be interested in: http://www.getr.co Maybe a second sheet could be added that lists a domain a HNer found to be available but did not want to buy for himself(like the list I created).

I don't have the time for this project but maybe someone else is interested?

mgkimsal15y ago

I think "exchange" should be defined more specifically.

"Exchange" for another domain only? Exchange for a reasonable fee? I'd consider $20 or under a reasonable fee. Some registrars might have a transfer fee of some sort - I'm generally willing to cover that cost as well.

"Compensation" is already being called for here - "exchange" - it's just not defined what that is.

Started this site as a way to search and filter OS Android Roms. My initial dataset was from androidspin.com, and I said as much.

twiddit.com

Twitter sorted with a ranking algorithm. For people that don't read everything in the stream, the good stuff gets voted up and hangs out at the top, the bad stuff gets voted down and falls faster.

Twitter search actually kind of works this way. If you search a popular term, things with many RT's are always at the top. The whole site could be that way.

You could also use the in_reply_to ids to make a Reddit-style comment tree. (Even #newtwitter doesn't show conversations well.)

Thinking about it now, it's Reddit with a 140 char limit, except you don't have the chicken-and-egg problem, since you're using the firehose to pre-populate with content.

Let me know if you want to do this. It may be our next pivot if our current [shameless plug coming] startup, Heyo (http://heyo.com, coming soon) doesn't work.

healsdata15y ago

I remember idlingdomains.com being posted here on HN at one point which sought to solve the same problem. The issue I remember people having with it at the time was that you had to redirect the idle domain to their website for it to be picked up and added to the list.

It didn't take long for people to start offering for sale domains, heh, I guess that's just as bad as vandalism.

I was looking for a domain similar as I am writing small iphone/ipad apps to teach science and other concepts to kids. e-mail in my profile.

Just thought i'd let anyone else interested in this domain that i've found a possible partner & the domain is currently in use.

thanks HN

three killers domain I own (and what I paid):

- kokua.com (5k) (to help in hawaiian)

- 20.com (70k) (20 means location on radio)

- aday.com (40k) (as in joke.aday.com, ".... A day.")

- lowimpact.com and noimpact.com (10k)... wanted to do a green blog.

oh yeah, i'm hosting the launch conference on Feb 23rd and 24th and launching the email newsletter. so, that's like five companies in a year on top of my 15 angel investments a year.

ping me jason at mahalo.com

srepetti15y ago

To add to what Jason said, I own 5g.com and would likewise entertain similar ideas/participation -- and would combine with other opportunities/partners for the right group: steve at radwebtech.com

No, use this instead:

This came out a few months ago and there's a collection of URLs up there already.

This seems to rely on whois records. For those opting to avoid public whois info, this doesn't seem to have much value.

Cute, someone just deleted the whole spreadsheet. This is why we can't have nice things.

Hah, that reminds me. I own meatlobby.com because it came up in a conversation and as soon as I heard those two words together, I whois'd and bought it.

I own spellwith.me and spellwithme.com... I was thinking of an interactive spelling-game type of site for elementary school teachers/students or ESL.

Something like http://www.spellingcity.com/ which is sucks in numerous ways but seems to be popular with educators.

I don't have the time for this project but maybe someone else is interested?

mgkimsal15y ago

I think "exchange" should be defined more specifically.

"Compensation" is already being called for here - "exchange" - it's just not defined what that is.

frederickcook15y ago

twiddit.com

Twitter sorted with a ranking algorithm. For people that don't read everything in the stream, the good stuff gets voted up and hangs out at the top, the bad stuff gets voted down and falls faster.

Twitter search actually kind of works this way. If you search a popular term, things with many RT's are always at the top. The whole site could be that way.

You could also use the in_reply_to ids to make a Reddit-style comment tree. (Even #newtwitter doesn't show conversations well.)

Thinking about it now, it's Reddit with a 140 char limit, except you don't have the chicken-and-egg problem, since you're using the firehose to pre-populate with content.

Let me know if you want to do this. It may be our next pivot if our current [shameless plug coming] startup, Heyo (http://heyo.com, coming soon) doesn't work.
