Ability to show Domain Name availablity for registration

Modified on Wed, 30 Jul at 3:03 PM

We should have a feature capable of showing when a Domain Name is available for registration.

Example of situation found during a POC:

The domain discovered is showing as 49% in terms of trust.
 
By doing a WHOIS on it we can see the following:
 
The domain postsmartacc.com does not currently exist or is not registered.
 
The response from the authoritative WHOIS server (whois.verisign-grs.com) clearly says:
No match for domain "POSTSMARTACC.COM".
 
This means:
The domain is available for registration.
It is not currently owned or active in the .com registry.
 
Solution suggested:
Column: Availability
 
Purpose
Indicates whether the domain is currently unregistered and available to register — important for identifying forgotten/abandoned domains.
