Updates and Deletion

The newly added domains get indexed once a day. The deleted ones I only mark as removed (VALID_DOMAIN = False). So maybe you'll find a nice domain you wanted to buy with this flag.

Data Source

The data I use is public available from Switch.ch as part of their OpenData publication for combating cybercrime, scientific and social research or for other purposes in the public interest.

Next steps

1. Release source code for indexing (Python)
2. Release source code for React App
3. Make Elastic more robust and faster
4. Design, Design, Design,...
5. Open API
6. Open for changes (Some ideas: Better DNSSEC Overview, Notification for a deleted domain, ...)
