Bulk-Check .com Domains Like a Boss (Python, 5 Mins)

Tired of F5-ing GoDaddy for that killer .com? I’ve been there—brainstorming startup names at 2 AM, only to find they’re all squatted by domain flippers. Screw that. Here’s a dead-simple Python script to check 100 domains in seconds. No APIs, no credit cards, just raw WHOIS muscle.

First, pip install python-whois. Then fire up this:

import whois
import sys

domains = [
 'killeridea.com',
 'nextbigthing.com',
 # Add yours here
]

for domain in domains:
 try:
 w = whois.whois(domain)
 print(f"{domain}: ❌ Taken (expires {w.expiration_date})")
 except whois.parser.PywhoisError:
 print(f"{domain}: ✅ Available! Grab it NOW.")

Boom. Run it: python checker.py. Green lights? Hit Namecheap before some bot does. (Pro tip: Whois rate-limits suck—add time.sleep(1) if you’re scaling to thousands, or proxy it to dodge blocks.)

What I’m Doing NOW

This is a Now page and is inspiired by one of my favorite author, Derek Siver’s Now page

Updated March 1st 2026, from Mumbai, India where summer is just beginning and the AQI is a pleasant 36 ppb. (Yes, I am more troubled by the stuff I breathe than the warmth of my skin).

Health

I’ve started running – away from my problems. Nah, that’s 2020’s me. Now I run into them head on. Lot of fun, would recommend. But no, I am actually running, like 5K per week. Well, almost every other week. I want to make this a regular thing but that’s where I’m at right now.

Relationships

I’ve been meeting my friends and family more. I think I did more dinners with loved ones in the last 6 months than I have done in the last 3 years.

Love

I’ve found the love of my life. She is soo sweet. I thank my stars everyday for the unusual way in which our paths crossed. Hon, if you are reading this you should know that I love you. I love you more than I love a ribeye steak and that’s saying something.

Socials

I’m on Instagram now – I recently started posting on instagram after collecting an iPhone full of photos from 3 trips abroad. I mean, its better off on Meta servers than my paid iCloud storage amiright?!

Work

I’m currently working on a lot of Agentic AI assisted applications. I mean who isn’t, I get it, but my work focuses more on their optimization and production ready deployment.

Tech

I finally setup my Macbook M4. The 24 gigs of ram is really something I never thought I’d need but to know that it exists is a huge peace of mind on long running tasks or heavy work days.
I also got a iPhone 17 Pro Max and it’s already got a chipped corner. Something something clumsy hands…
Not exactly tech but my girlfriend got me a pair of white All Birds shoes and I must say these are the most comfortable pair of outdoor-socks I’ve ever worn. God bless the hands that made these shoes. The comfort they offer is simply unmatched.

Learning

I’m a big fan of books shared on Hacker News. Someone even made a “Book Tracker” for books mentioned in the comments. I try reading one book from that list once every month.
This month’s reading is – In God’s Hands by Desmond Tutu. I’ve always found faith to be an alluring topic. This book provides a window into the mind of a person who’s very life is his faith – soo very interesting, don’t you think?!
Another fun read for this year is Bombay Balchao by Jane Borges – a sneak peak into the everyday happenings of typical Goan catholic families in Bombay.

Food

After returning from Europe I am trying to dedicate myself to little less gastronomic / salad heavy diet but it’s proving more difficult than I thought. That being said I’ve successfully switched to a one-mean-a-day diet and so far its quite nice.

Why This Site

I created this site using Hugo and the Prosecco theme – a minimalist paper like theme with customizable color palettes inspired by VS Code themes.

Why

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 11:11:11 +0530

I bought a domain on a Tuesday, which is the least dramatic way to begin anything that will quietly eat the rest of your life. The checkout page asked if I wanted privacy protection; I clicked yes, then realized the blog itself the antithesis of that act.

For about 8 years I’ve been the human grease in the gears: sprint plans, burn-down charts, the guy who can still grep faster than most people scroll.
I type at 120 wpm, which sounds like a party trick until you realize it’s just the speed at which thoughts escape before I lose them. It’s really just a desperate attempt at hoarding ideas if you will. Most of those thoughts die in Obsidian: 100K orphaned notes, a digital graveyard where half-baked scripts and shower insights go to haunt each other. Every morning I open the vault, see the markdown tombstones and think I must do something about these files, then conveniently get distracted by the Jira tickets I myself create.
