Will check them out currently working on auth and domain management crud part when they are completed will check them
Oh yah, he also recommended Domainmod. Upon checking, it seems like ti can be self-hosted.
Friustrated why?
Yes, pardon me. I thought that it was some service, and not self-hosted.
a suggestion to look, integrate a whois cron to check for updates every 3 days if not everyday for data related to expiration date nameserver changes. setup notifications as well if there's a change from earlier reported data.
Will try this the who is api is free I believe ?
it sometimes misses the expiry date unless specified manually....
Oh, that's a very important feature. BTW, how hard is it to customise it? Are additional hooks allowed or do you have to customise the code directly?
do you want to do with API? i think you can find various packages for whois if strictly want to use api you won't be able to find any free with reasonable limits. I might had something similar i coded eons ago in php to query whois and print the data in json and plaintext... will need to find it ofcourse....
BRING THE NEW YEAR HYPE, RACKNERD GANG!
it's php won't be hard i believe..... might have been better if it supported plugins and hooks

Join if you haven't yet.
Also, those who have joined, how many entries you got.
Comfortable with PHP. But, it's a pain if I have t customise the code directly for changes. Messes up updates and stuff.
just fork it and start building it like it's your own
But, again, it won't be hands-free, as updates might require corresponding changes on my side at times.
Been checking https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted as well. Doesn't seem to have anything other than DomainMod for such stuff.
perks of being a maintainer
How long you've been a maintainer there? BTW, original or fork?
Also, @TrK wanted to ask, this is my plan. Start the URL shortener with the domain name I currently have for it, for example, orig.top . And, if/when it's blacklisted, get a new domain and convert all the links to that base domain, on the accessible parts of the website to new domain, for example, new.top. And, then, Nginx 301 redirect all new.top to orig.top. Would this allow me to bypass the blacklisting on social media? Any idea?
not maintainer myself. And i use domainmod only for domains that have messed up registry rules.
Oh ok. Anyways, gonna give it a try myself and see how it goes. Thanks for yet another great suggestion.
instead of fiddling with multiple domains, why not just a rating service? for example use virustotal for urls being shortened and refuse the url. I belive there are many more blacklists that track domains as well
This is actually an idea, I thought of initially, since they have an API I could use. I was also planning to host a local list, using the search results of every link. But, their API has a limit of 500 requests per minute. I might have to re-research public blacklisted domain lists or something. But, Incase, I do go ahead with the launch right now and it gets blacklisted, what are my options?
My doubt arises from the fact that some social media just to get the thumbnail and such data might just do the redirection themselves first and then show the URL, in which case, they'd know that I am redirecting to the existing domain that's blacklisted. WOuld that be right?
no options unless you are old and have enough domain reputation, have an abuse page ready as well, it helps. And a proper terms and conditions for using your service where it states clearly that any links found not in line will be suspended or straight deleted and account suspended. Also don't allow link customizations for non-authenticated users. Use captcha better than recaptcha maybe mcpatcha or CF.
Just checked Virustotal API's premium pricing _ $10k-40k/year!!!
Just setup a filter for social media servers to not redirect the link
a little costly but certainly helps big time. hmm there was phistank as well....
Thanks man! That was an awesome suggestion, I hadn't thought of. BTW, also found this - https://github.com/fabriziosalmi/blacklists. Might be enough instead of VirusTotal for now.
Yah, but, won't make sense for me at all though. FOr big enterprises, yes.
