I built Instant Domain Search in 2005 after attending Y Combinator’s inaugral Startup School at Harvard. After the day of lectures, I was anxious to start a startup. I had a few ideas, but was frustrated with how slow WHOIS queries are–and how hard it is to find a good name. It turns out VeriSign publishes a list of domain names in a giant zone file every night. Once I faxed the zone access agreement back to VeriSign, they provided me with access to the zone file. I got a dedicaded server, hacked together a script, and was able to index the tens of millions of .com domain names with MySQL. I was surprised how fast even the first version was. Once I had the JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL running smoothly, I posted a first version of the site to the Startup School wiki.
