wildcard whois domain search
See what's taken .. and what's not *
You can only match the start of your domains with keywords followed by an asterisk (*) wildcard. Maximum 50 matches per search. Searching for *abc does not work yet. We recommend a bulk domain availability check once you have your list of desired domain names.
Check all registered .COM and .NET domain names using a wildcard Whois query ..
* The "*" at the end of the search word is a wildcard (which means "any match") but can only be used at the end.
* No spaces or punctuation characters allowed in domain names - just letters (a-z), numbers (0-9) and - (minus or dash or hyphen).
* Don't include .com or .net unless searching a single specific domain WHOIS.
* All existing domains will be shown (com/net only), meaning everything else is available. Max 50 results.
* Many matches shows "Aborting search 50 records found .." - just use a longer search term and repeat.
* No matches will show just that, one match shows full details for domain (normal WHOIS output)
* Results are in reverse alpha order with dash '-' first (wide matches will bring all dash versions first)
* Cut/paste your shortlist for a quick bulk check and please register at cheapnames.com.
* Also works as a general whois enter cat.com , dog.net etc. Terms of use.
Terms of use: Abusing this utility by feeding automatic queries, inappropriate repackaging or reverse engineering, or more than 100 queries per day will result in permanent IP blocks and possibly the complete removal of the search. Please don't spoil things for everyone else.
