Search for your domain name

Apologies if this has been answered a zillion times before.

Remember that fab site whois had, deleting.

Are there any other sites that offer the full list from suspended to deletion?

Not wanting to pay £100 a month subscription or anything, just a look once or twice a month etc

If anyone knows a service, please pm, thanks.

Yep shame to see that one of Andrew's go, it got me started in this game.

Not sure anyone publishing the lists are in line with Nominet's Terms and Conditions now mate so don't think there are any free ones these days.

Ah yes, that makes sense.

Maybe someone sells excel downloads etc?

But then again, there are probably too many records??

Thanks GreyWing

how do people find domains without checking all of them?

ukdomains

How do domainlore and dropsystem generate their droplists ?

do they use their quota to scan it etc

i always wondered how that was done

You have to check all of them, there's no other way to build droplists.

but surly Nominet finds that worse for its servers than just giving everyone a drop list like the old .coms. how would you check all of them? as in surely you would need to try every domain. then once you have started you need to try again becuse it has taken you forever? how many .co.uk are there (i know there is org.uk and loads of others but just .co.uk how many is there?) the number around 15 million comes to mind but might be wrong?

grantw

Not sure on the figures but I think it's around 6 million registred .uk domains, could be wrong though.

ok thats not as many as i thought. just found out that with whois2 you can have 100,000 a day so really to find out that many all you need is a few days. now really the hard question is where do you get a list in the first place of the names that are reg, then how do you keep adding the new ones that have been added (tho they wont come up for dropping 2 years later.) i just dont see nominet getting you to have to try out every possible comb of letters and numbers to find them all.

Any ideas people?

Use of Whois2 for your own scanning of domains is in violation of Nominet's terms. That's what the Domain Availability Checker is for.
