Last week, tld-list.com went down for a couple of days.
That shouldn’t be a big deal… but for me, it was.
I regularly check domain availability across multiple TLDs, not just .com, but dozens of extensions. When the site was down, I realized how painful my workflow actually was:
- Checking domains one by one
- Jumping between different tools
- No single place for pricing, availability, and alternatives
- Expired domains scattered across random sources
After a couple of frustrating sessions, I did what most developers eventually do:
👉 I built my own tool.
Why I built tld-list.org
The goal was simple:
- One place to check domain availability across many TLDs
- See TLD pricing without hopping between registrars
- Access expired domains from a reliable source
- No paywalls, no login walls, no “free for 3 searches” limits
What started as a personal utility slowly turned into tld-list.org.
What it does
- ✅ Compare TLD prices across registrars
- ✅ Check domain availability across multiple extensions at once
- ✅ Browse expired domains (this was important to me as a domain nerd)
- ✅ Discover lesser-known and alternative TLDs
- ✅ Everything is free to use
I already had access to an expired domains data source, so it made sense to include that too, instead of keeping it locked in my own scripts.
Who this is for
If you’re:
- A developer naming side projects
- Someone who buys domains often
- Exploring new or niche TLDs
- Hunting for expired domains
…this is basically the tool I wish I had when my usual site went offline.
No monetization tricks (at least for now)
This isn’t a startup pitch or a SaaS launch.
I genuinely built this to fix my own workflow and decided to share it publicly.
If it helps even a few people avoid the same frustration, that’s a win.
Would love feedback from other devs who deal with domains regularly, especially what you’d want added or improved next.
