registered domains list - cheapnames.com wildcard whois search (find available domains)

Find which domains have already been registered .. and which ones haven't.

Find out here with our registered domains search. It is like a normal whois search but lists all domains registered (up to 50 at a time) matching your search word. With several searches you will quickly see what is registered - and therefore what is still available.. - SEEING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REGISTERED IS GREAT FOR DOMAIN IDEAS TOO. Once you have used this tool we guarantee you will not be able to live without it. We recommend a bulk domains availability check once you have your list of desired domain names.

Enter first few letters

example: click homecooked* to show all registered domains beginning "homecooked.."

How to interpret the search results
If you get lots of hyphens (-) and the message "Aborting search 50 records found ....." you need to enter a longer search keyword. Full instructions: show/hide

How to interpret the WHOIS wildcard search results:
0. The results show all .COM and .NET domains currently registered matching your search. Meaning anything NOT in the list is available to register (but see 2. below).
1. "No match for partial .." means ALL domains beginning with your search are available.
2. Too many matches (50 max per search) - result shows ".. 50 records found .." - just use a longer search term to narrow your search.
3. Results are in reverse alpha order with dash coming '-' before letters/numbers (so broad matches will show all dash versions first - just use a longer search term)
[X] hide

* 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 ' characters allowed in domain names - just letters (a-z), numbers (0-9) and - (minus dash hyphen). Do not enter .com or .net unless searching specific domains.
* 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 or cow.co.uk etc. Terms of use.
