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....
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....
