Find expired domains of old local businesses
Do a quick 2-sec spam check for gambling abuse
What else do you need? 😄
one of my favorite features in UpSnatch is the site identity timeline
you can see how a domain used to be a legit business
and when it turned into a gambling site
We just launched AI Domain Search
You can test it for free
Just tell it what you need and the agent will find expired / dropped / marketplace domains within your constraints
If you want to test this and many other features upsnatch.com

If you are in Bangkok in December, come say Hi!
Nick Vanderhoven, Founder of UpSnatch.com, will be speaking at Domain Summit Asia 2026 in Bangkok! 🇧🇪🇹🇭
Nick joined us in Hong Kong last year and attended Domain Summit Europe in Kempten this August. We're pleased to have him back, this time as a featured speaker.
His discussion panel:
"The AI-Powered Domain Investor - Finding, Valuing, Acquiring and Selling Domains in the Age of LLMs."
Nick is building UpSnatch, a platform for discovering expired and aftermarket domains, researching their SEO metrics and history, and monitoring acquisition opportunities.
One particularly interesting development is UpSnatch's API and MCP integration, which allows AI agents to access its domain search data.
That raises some questions for domain investors.
Can AI find promising domains that traditional searches miss?
How useful are LLMs for analysing domain data?
Can agents monitor auctions and identify opportunities without spending hours manually searching?
And how do we make sure investors are making decisions based on reliable information rather than AI-generated guesses?
Nick is working directly on domain discovery technology, so his experience should be useful for this discussion.

When I worked in media, I used to have a good relationship with the Google account managers, representing over 80 news brands
I always thought this was the big difference with small publisher that had no real voice
Wonder how this wil evolve
every time i start hitting an ai model's ceiling a new version drops and shifts the boundary
always right on time
feels so good
hope this never stops
Ask.com (originally Ask Jeeves) officially closed its doors on May 1, 2026, after 30 years (!!)

my chief of staff is running cursor agents

noticed @Dynadot is the only domain registrar i keep seeing at seo conferences
everyone else stays at domain events talking to people who already know them
they show up here with agencies, marketers, people who buy and manage domains every day
