Hi,

As I know that the WHOIS server is not the best way to query available domain name. Sometime the domain was already taken but WHOIS result still show available.

The better way is to access zone file but I have no idea about how to access zone file to query available of domain name. Please help me if someone know about this.

:rolleyes:

Yes, this is correct. For some reason, if a certain domain has been registered just a few hours ago and you do a search for it at many domain registrars, they'll report that the domain is still available. When you actually do try to register and pay for it, that's when they'll tell you that it's already been registered.

I may be wrong, but I recall reading somewhere that the easiest way to verify (instantly) if a domain is actually available for registration at any particular moment in time, is by going to www.netsol.com and using the search box they have on the front page. If it says that the domain is available, then it really is.
