You can use any whois program to see if it is registered. If it is registered but the expiration date is expired it is to be deleted. God only knows when though ): If it is already deleted it is available. mrzippy 11-08-2002, 09:55 PM Originally posted by Pilgrim If it is already deleted it is available. Is there a particular whois database that is better than others for this? ie: I would want to run my whois against a database that is updated the INSTANT the domain is deleted from the central registry.

The information for any given domain will be held by the registrar for that domain. -t chrisblack 11-09-2002, 09:05 PM Take a look at http://www.geektools.com whois.
