Domain name is one of the "trends" where being early literally pays (the other ones are crypto and making fart apps for iOS).

(Un)fortunately, what's left are ridiculouslylongnames.com that somehow still sells for a few hundred a pop. The long tail.

I'm not a fan of that. Instead, when .id was open for public, I immediately acquired generic names such as every.id, awesome.id, printed.id, even ultimate.id (notice a pattern?).

I own a few hundred in total—managing them is a headache. I've lost a handful of really good names because I forgot to renew (last-minute renewals due to limited budget and procrastination). Also, sometimes I wonder about the performance of my assets, and whether I'm profitable.

I'm building an app, Axtiva, to help manage domain names. It's not a unicorn idea, but I'm scratching my own itch. If you're in a similar situation, take a lot at https://s.id/axtiva-android-test or just put your email in https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/axtiva so I can update you when it's launched in iOS (it's a Flutter app).



Domain squatters are the worst
