NameHunt helps you find the best place to buy a domain name. Just type a domain (with TLD), and we’ll fetch prices from multiple domain registrars, sort them in order as per your preferences, and let you decide your best place to buy it.
-
🔎 Search any domain with TLD (e.g. example.com, myproject.dev)
-
📊 Compare domain prices across multiple registrars
-
🏷️ Sorted results — sort based on your preferences
-
⚡ Fast lookups powered by APIs, and headless scraping
-
📱 Clean UI with Next.js frontend
-
🚀 Open multiple registrar websites via clicking a single button, these opened websites show the exact pricing of the domain that was entered in NameHunt
Frontend: Next.js + Tailwind CSS + Bun
Backend: Hono (running on Pnpm runtime)
HTTP Fetching (will try next approach if one fails):
-
Registrar APIs (preferred when available)
-
Playwright (as a fallback when no API exists, by scraping registrar sites)
Here’s how NameHunt fetches data:
User inputs domain → Backend pipeline begins
↓
Try official registrar APIs (fastest + reliable)
↓
If unavailable, fallback to Playwright for scraping
↓
Aggregate all prices → Return to frontend
This layered approach makes it robust (works for most registrars) and flexible (easy to extend by adding new providers).
