Domain Hack tool

[redbaron]

After reading a thread about domain hacks searched for a tool being a lazy guy and here it is a decent one

Xona.com - Domain Hacks

[NameSugar]

Yeah, Xona is a good start. The only problem is it doesn't take into consideration the ccTLDs that don't allow 2nd level domains. For example you can't reg xxxx.uk only .co.uk, .org.uk etc.

Also many ccTLDs require a physical presence in the country so they're mostly off limits to hacks. It would be nice if they programmed in these limitations instead of kicking out some hacks that can't actually happen under the current rules.

Yea I've often got excited about domain hacks it's listed, such as one's ending in .er etc, but it's not possible to directly register that, so there's no point listing it.

The site's been going for years so you thought they would of fixed that by now!

Exactly! It's a popular tool too it's not like they don't know people use it. Just a few more lines of code and it would go from "neat" to "great".

Maybe its time for any one of our domainer/programmers to start another one similar.

I started to work on a domain hack tool - Domain Hacks @ DomainFreak.net

I've currently only added a few TLDs, ae, af, ag, de, dj, dk, mp, ps, se, oviously going to add more though.

Just want to get some feedback/ideas on what I've done so far and see if anyone has any suggestions for changes/improvements

[redbaron]

Nice work there Dempsey. Congrats.

Maybe you could add domain registration price and any special requirements in the Note section.

More link not working in the note section.

some words like cracker,poker are not hacked.

Anyways good work there.

Ah yea I'll add price as a new column :-)

Will fix the more link.

Yea I haven't added all extensions yet, was more of a test than a fully working tool atm, wanted to get some feedback before did too much, for example I'm already going to go back over all the extensions I've already added to add the registration costs, so if I had added all extensions and then decided that would be a lot more work!

Super, looking forward to taking it out for a spin
