Most domain research tools give you one of two things: a paywall after three lookups, or raw registry text that looks like it was printed in 1997. Neither is acceptable when you're moving fast on a domain acquisition, checking expiry windows, or scanning hundreds of names before a drop window closes.
Dompedia is built to fix that.
The result isn't raw text either. Dompedia parses the registry response into a clean, structured record: registrar name, creation date, expiry date, nameservers, and EPP status codes — all in a readable format with no hunting through noise. You can save any record to your dashboard for later reference, and compare records side-by-side without leaving the tool.
Who is Dompedia for?
Domain investors who live and die by expiry windows and drop calendars. Startup founders who need the right name and don't want to wade through a broker. Solo builders who have a shortlist of 200 names to check and exactly one afternoon to do it. SEO professionals monitoring competitor domains. Development teams managing a portfolio of assets across multiple TLDs. Anyone who has ever been told by another tool that a lookup limit was "for their own protection."
If you look up more than a handful of domains per week and you've hit a paywall on GoDaddy, DomainTools, or any similar service — Dompedia is built for you.
What you get on every plan, including free:
Unlimited* individual WHOIS lookups. This is not a trial. It does not expire. You are querying live registry data every time, and there is no meter running on individual lookups. The only thing behind a plan is catalog access — the curated lists of premium short domain names available to drop, expire, or acquire.
The Drop Catalogs:
This is where Dompedia goes well beyond a lookup tool. Every catalog is built from registry scans, filtered by length and pattern, and updated daily:
4-letter .com — 456,976 names, filterable by CVCV, VCVC, CVVC, VCCV, numeric, and mixed patterns. This is the full universe of four-letter .com combinations, not a cherry-picked subset. Available on the Signal plan at $29/month. Use code SIGNAL3 to start for $3 your first month.
3-character and 2-character .com — short names that move markets. CVC, VCV, pure numeric, and two-character combinations.
Cross-TLD short names — 4L, 3L, and 2C name lists across .ai, .io, .co, .net, and .org. Because the next great company name doesn't always end in .com.
All filters are combinable. Search for 4L CVCV .com names only, or open it up to everything. Your call.
Plans:
Free — Unlimited* WHOIS lookups, 10 preview catalog names, all pattern filters on .com 4L. No credit card required.
Signal · $29/mo — Full 4L .com catalog (456k names), all pattern filters, save records, Bulk 50. Use code SIGNAL3 for $3 your first month.
Orbit · $149/mo — Everything in Signal, plus 3C + 2C .com, cross-TLD lists on .ai .io .co .net .org, Bulk 300, daily drop monitoring, and highest priority queue. 3-day free trial included — no commitment.
Bulk lookup:
On Signal you can check 50 domains in one batch. On Orbit, 300. Results come back as a structured table with registrar, expiry date, and status for each name. Available domains are highlighted. You can save, filter, and export directly from the results view.
