    How do I check if a domain name is taken (from within my program) ?

    You have to access a whois database on a registrar's web site. Don't think you can really do it alone.

    Well, I have seen some "freeware" programs that does it, and those programs don't really look too proffesional ..

    I know DB connections and stuff, but I need to know if it is free ..

    Any way you slice it you have to connect to a remote site and perform a whois on a registrar's database. Check on www.networksolutions.com and see if they have any information on how to perform a whois directly w/o hitting their site.
