    Hi everyone,

    Is there any free scripts that can check a domain name, if any of the common TLD are taken or not. And something that I can incorporate with wordpress?

    Like for example if I will post a domain name on my wordpress it will automatically check if the domain name is available or not.

    For example if I post

    [domainchecker]targetmethere[/domainchecker]

    And then the output will be

    targetmethere.com - available
    targetmethere.net - available
    targetmethere.org - available
    targetmethere.info - available

    hoping for a useful inputs

    Thank you in advance guys....:cool:

    You need a nominet DAC account (which are expensive) or use some kind of whois API (http://www.whoisxmlapi.com/).
    That's if you want accurate results. If you're not that bothered, cURL the domain on port 80 - if you get a page back then assume it's taken.

    The price is kind a fair but I just don't like the idea that they charge per query...

    But this is interesting, thanks for the share....
