Signal guide · New domains

Reach new projects the week they are born.

Thousands of new company domains are registered every day. Filtered correctly, they reveal company creations, product launches and rebrands - before any other public trace exists.

Why it reveals buying intent

A new company has zero suppliers and needs everything at once: banking, accounting, insurance, web, tools. The registration date is the closest public proxy to “open to offers”.

Where it shows up

  • AFNIC daily files
  • RDAP registrant data
  • Domain-name keywords
  • Registrar patterns

Detection

How to detect this signal manually.

01

Pull your country's domain-registry creation file (e.g. AFNIC for .fr) - most registries publish one.

02

Filter on keywords in the domain name itself: sector words, city names, professional patterns.

03

Discard the noise mechanically: parked domains, typosquats, serial registrations by the same registrant.

04

Enrich the survivors via RDAP - registrant type, city and contact tell you whether it is a business.

05

Prioritize domains where a real website or company registration appears within days.

Qualification

Checklist before reaching out.

  • The domain-name pattern suggests a business in your target sector or territory.
  • The registrant is an organization or an identifiable professional, not an anonymous bulk registration.
  • The registration is under two weeks old - this signal decays fastest of all.
  • A validated contact email exists or can be derived.
  • No high-risk markers: typosquatting, brand-adjacent names, serial registrant.

False positives

What looks like a signal but isn't.

  • Domainers and speculative bulk registrations - one registrant, dozens of domains.
  • Defensive registrations by existing companies protecting a brand.
  • Typosquats and brand-adjacent domains that will never carry a business.
  • Projects that never launch - a registration is intent to start, not proof of survival.

Concrete example
