How to check new domain names already exists

Hi All,
Is there any tool to check a domain name already exists and expired. For example I am selecting abc.com to register and its available. Previously someone have used that domain for two years and didnt renew the domain and it was expired.

 

If I understand what you're saying, you can check the history at The Wayback Machine

 

domainit has been around a long time you can check with them too

 

thanks for the reply. The site is very useful.

 

domainsite.com

 

DomainTools is another great site. It will also give you whois history on a domain name.

 

DomainTools is a great asset. I highly recommend using them. They also have a whois record history that's pretty useful.

 

yep, domaintools.com is great. especially for searching for domains for sale or at auction.
