Comment on Ask HN: Every time I register a new domain, I get spammedparent

Comments

Easier way, get zone files, compare and you've got a list of all new registrations. Then scrape WHOIS data.

I'm sure this is what they do.

Whenever registering a domain with a TLD that provides zone files with my real WHOIS info filled out I get an email asking me to pay to "get my website on Google".

Can you elaborate on "get zone files"? Is there a way to get all authoritative zone files for a given TLD or equivalent?

Thanks! Seems like you don't have to pay anything actually.
