It's not hard to launch terminal and type whois <domain>. Just do it and have a much higher likelihood that your new names and business concepts are safe.
Note that you're not guaranteed they're safe because it's trivial for an ISP to sniff all port 43 traffic, but it's a lot better than giving your unregistered name to someone who has a conflict of interest.
- hessenwolf 16y agoIf you don't have a terminal to hand, you can go through nametoolkit, i.e., www.nametoolkit.com/whois/nametoolkit.com. We are just using a linux terminal on the back end and this data goes nowhere.
