About BuildOnDomains
BuildOnDomains is a hosted research tool for people who want to start a web business from a domain name. Each day it scans a large pool of expiring domains at auction and surfaces a short list of descriptive .com names that suggest what to build, so users do not have to start from a blank idea.
Every curated domain comes with a suggested business idea, a way to monetize it and search-demand data, giving a bidder more context before committing. The service has a web app with a login, a demo, a pricing page and a blog.
It suits domain investors, indie makers and site builders who prefer to start from a name rather than from an idea, and who want domain selection backed by demand data.
