$EIGI Tracker idea: Follow new customer acquisitions by tracking domain nameserver settings

An Alternative Data research idea for tracking $EIGI's customer growth: When a new domain is registered or transferred to a web host, the first thing that needs to happen is an update of the domain's nameserver settings. By web scraping the number of domains that point to a specific web host over time, I theorize one can estimate the growth of customers.

I decide to use DailyChanges alongside the WayBackMachine to backfill EIGI web host properties.

Note: The above list is currently incomplete. A full list of EIGI's properties can be found @ https://www.reviewhell.com/blog/endurance-international-group-eig-hosting/
