name.com Partners with Leading AI Platforms to Bring Domain Access to Millions of Builders

DENVER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 4, 2026--

name.com, the domain platform that makes building simple at any scale, today announced five new partnerships with Lovable, Railway, Hercules, Sellfy, and Anything.com, expanding the name.com API across a growing portfolio of AI and developer platforms. Users can search, purchase, and manage domains directly inside the tools where they build, establishing a trusted online presence at the moment of launch.

These partnerships reflect a broader shift in how software is built and launched. As AI lowers the barrier to building websites, apps, and online businesses, the internet is getting more crowded, making domains more critical for establishing identity, trust, and discoverability. A recent name.com survey found that 77% of respondents expect domain importance to increase because of AI. By bringing registration directly into the platforms where creation happens, name.com makes digital identity part of building from the beginning. In Lovable's first week of its name.com API integration, users registered thousands of domains, demonstrating strong demand, and ease, when domain registration is embedded directly into the creation flow.

"We’re at an inflection point where digital presence is being rebuilt from the ground up," said Sammy Ahmed, VP and General Manager at name.com. "Domains remain the foundation of online identity and presence, signaling trust and credibility that AI cannot replicate. These partnerships reflect growing demand for domain registration to happen directly within the tools people already use, and name.com is making that seamless."

“More people than ever are building digital products with tools like Lovable,” said Sebastian Schaaf, Product at Lovable. “Giving these products a home needed to be effortless for our users, and we decided that name.com was the right partner to make this possible at our scale."

Each partner has embedded domain capabilities directly into its creation or deployment workflow, making domains part of the product experience:

This announcement builds on an existing portfolio of platform partners and integrations that includes Vercel, Replit, Netlify, Bolt, and Beacons. Built on industry-standard OpenAPI specifications, the name.com API ensures straightforward onboarding, allowing developers to build and deploy with speed and at scale.

name.com also recently launched name.dev, a developer hub with integration guides, partner case studies, and product deep dives for teams building on the name.com API.

DUBLIN (AP) — Hundreds of mourners, including Irish musicians and entertainers, filled a Dublin cathedral on Tuesday for the funeral of Academy Award-winning singer-songwriter Glen Hansard, who died in a motorcycle crash last week, aged 56.

Actors Steve Coogan and Chris O’Dowd and musicians including Bono, Hozier, Declan O’Rourke and Imelda May were in the congregation alongside friends, family and fans who had queued for hours outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

A large crowed watched on big screens outside as pallbearers carried a wicker coffin topped with flowers into the cathedral.

William Morton, the dean of St Patrick’s Cathedral, said: “Glen’s remarkable gifts and outstanding talent, which touched so many hearts, took him from the streets of Dublin to audiences across the globe.”

The funeral service was interwoven with music, including a performance by Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, who sang Hansard’s “The Song of Good Hope” alongside Hansard’s longstanding musical partner Markéta Irglová.

U2's Bono said of Hansard: “Everyone who met him, they just remembered the day they met him.”

Bono held up his phone to play a message he'd received from singer and poet Patti Smith performing “a lullaby for Glen’s family and friends,” before reciting lyrics to U2’s “Beautiful Day.”

Hansard was killed in a single-vehicle crash on the outskirts of Dublin on July 29, hours after taking part in a trad music session at a pub.

His widow, Finnish poet Maire Saaritsa, who thanked the police officers who came to his aid, read a poem she had written for him early in their relationship.

She said the couple's 3-year-old son was too young to attend or understand the funeral, but “the bright spirit he inherited from his father is with us.”

Hansard was the longtime front man of Irish rock band The Frames and played a member of a Dublin soul band in the hit 1991 movie “The Commitments.” He won an Oscar in 2008 for the song “Falling Slowly” from the movie “Once,” in which he co-starred with Irglová. A stage adaptation won eight Tony Awards in 2012.

Hansard also was half of rock duo The Swell Season with Irglová and released solo albums including “Didn’t He Ramble,” which was nominated for a Grammy for Best Folk Album in 2016.

For many years he led a Christmas Eve busk outside Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre, where members of the public gathered to see famous Irish musicians perform in aid of a homelessness charity.

Tributes have been paid by fellow musicians. Bruce Springsteen said on Instagram he was “heartbroken” at the loss of “a great musician, a good friend and a generous and gracious man.”
