The brief

Search a name, register it, done.

The goal was a simple, Australian-focused store: type a name, see what's available across .com.au, .com, .net and the other popular extensions, and buy it without a string of upsells along the way.

Every result is a live check with the registrar, so the search runs them all at the same time on the server and shows the results together. Recent results are cached briefly, so a repeat search comes back straight away.

How it works

From search to registration.

Type. Check. Own it.Every check runs on the server, all at once.

  1. Search

    One search checks the exact name plus 13 popular extensions in parallel, and can suggest other names if the one you wanted is taken.

  2. Checkout

    Chosen domains go to Stripe Checkout. Stripe's webhook confirms the payment before anything is registered.

  3. Registration

    Once payment is confirmed the domain is registered with OpenSRS. .au names carry the eligibility details, such as an ABN, that the registry asks for.

  4. Accounts and email

    Customers sign in to see their orders, and confirmation emails go out automatically.

Under the hood

Fast, and safe with the keys.

Parallel checks

Every extension is checked at the same time, so one slow answer doesn't hold up the rest.

Keys on the server

Registrar and payment keys live in the API, never in the browser.

Short cache

Recent availability results are kept for a moment, so repeat searches are instant.

.au eligibility

The registrant details Australian domains need are collected and sent with the registration.
