Deleted Domains Search

spiderbat · Jan 29, 2006

I am interested to find out whether one can find domains that were once registered at Nominet and have been deleted by Nominet, that contain certain keywords.

For instance I would like to know if there are any domain names that have been deleted that contain the keywords

'france' and 'property'
or
'france' and 'villas'
or
'french' and 'villas'
or
'france' and 'hotels'

The domains can be hyphenated and can contain the keyword anywhere.

Is there anywhere that has an online search facility that enables us to do this?

Thanks

Nick

As from tomorrow this sort of search will have to be done using DAC, as it would generate loads of WHOIS enquiries and you will very quickly burn through 1000.

Hi Colin,

What is DAC and where do I find it?

The DAC is not what you are looking for.

You are asking for historical WHOIS data, something which the DAC is no good for as that can only tell you what is and isn't registered at this moment in time.

In short, I know of only one service that provides historical data, but i'm not sure how relevant or upto date it is
