👋 Hey Product Hunt! I'm excited to share DomainDetails.io - a privacy-focused domain monitoring tool I built while hunting for expired domains. 🤔 Why I Built This As a domain enthusiast, I found myself constantly checking when domains would expire and enter the auction phase (typically 30-35 days after expiration). Manually tracking multiple domains was tedious and time-consuming. I needed a tool that could: Track domain expiration status automatically Alert me when domains entered the auction phase Work without compromising search privacy Store historical data for pattern analysis Nothing quite fit these needs, so I built DomainDetails. 🔒 Privacy First What makes DomainDetails unique is its approach to privacy: Free version works 100% client-side, querying RDAP servers directly Your domain searches are never exposed to third parties No tracking, no analytics, just pure functionality Pro users' lookups are distributed across multiple servers to prevent any single service from seeing who's searching what 🎯 What It Does Private domain lookups using RDAP (modern replacement for WHOIS) Domain monitoring with checks 3 times daily Smart alerts for status changes and auction phases Historical lookup data with visual diffs Secure data storage and synchronization 🆓 Completely Free to Use The core lookup functionality is and will always remain free and completely private - no signup required, no data stored. For power users who need monitoring capabilities: Monitor up to 10 domains Automated checks 3x daily Email alerts for important changes 90-day lookup history Cross-device sync Priority support 💡 How It Works DomainDetails leverages the modern RDAP protocol (replacement for WHOIS) to fetch domain data. The free version runs entirely in your browser, ensuring complete privacy. For Pro users, our distributed lookup system ensures no single service can track your searches while enabling features like monitoring and synchronization. I built this tool because I needed it myself, and I hope it helps others who are also hunting for domains or managing their portfolio. I'd love to hear your feedback and thoughts on how to make DomainDetails even better!

Good luck with this @julianengel! It's great to see a more affordable alternative to DomainTools, especially when you don't need all the historical data. My 2 cents: Create a comparison page to let people know what you do better than the competition! We're all rooting for you!

Wow such a great tool, we searched for around 150 domain name before finding one and this kind of tool could be useful in case you have a temporary domain! Great work!

@fred_marcoux Thank you! Yea, that was the inspiration behind it :)
