Signal guide Β· 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 β€” 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 β€œopen 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) β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” a registration is intent to start, not proof of survival.

Concrete example
