    Question

    How do i make a program that checks if a domain name is taken ? (net/com/org).

    Well, I have built a program that "create" names, I just need to check them now ..

    I know that there are tons of programs that do this all over the place, but I want mine ..

    Once you create a name, try pinging it. If you don't get a reply, chances are good that it does not exist.

    no hard fillings but ....

    eeehhhhhh wrong answer.

    I know it can be done with a DB connection, I just don't remember how ..

    In too MANY cases there is no site, but the name is already taken (u know all the "I will sell it for 1mil $$$" guys).

    any other ideas ?
