I've actually always used Godaddy for searching and Namecheap for registering, simply because Godaddy's search interface is faster and more stable but Namecheap is great for not hassling you and way easier to configure. Fix the search Namecheap, and I will no longer use Godaddy again!

Try our new Beast Mode tool for searching: https://www.namecheap.com/domains/registration/results/?doma...

I've been on Namecheap for 7-8 years and while I am satisfied, I have to say that Namecheap's search interface is unusably broken.

It's been so bad for a few years that I've actually wondered if it's a sign of decline at the company... if you want very specific complaints about the UI I am happy to elaborate.

You want hover, best of both worlds. Amazing search experience, no misogynistic customer-hostile company (GoDaddy, not namecheap) behind it.

Misogynistic? How so?

I guess you never saw the superbowl ads of years past.

Sure, your feedback is welcome. Thank you.

Feedback on beast mode: it's super slow with bulk keywords (100s). It makes a separate request per keyword, and gets stuck in a minute. You should be doing the splitting server-side.

It's usually quite fast. It's using web sockets so it's full duplex. You may have hit a rate limit. Rate limits (albeit generous) are in place to prevent abuse.

I think I had nearly 5k keywords. I know it's a lot, but the form/page specifically mentions that I can go up to 5000 keywords.

Beast mode has been great. I want a python cli for it and heaven.

I'm more a fan of https://tld-list.com

Fan of https://domcomp.com && https://tld-list.com checking in.

Who is affiliated with it, if anyone?

I made Instant Domain Search.

I use this one too https://www.domainhamper.com/

https://domainr.com is a great way to search for domains super fast

This is my go-to for workshopping potential domain names.
