Paid (DAS) Domain Availability Service for .com .net extensions
Hey,
I need a paid solution for my domain queries over my website especially for .com and .net domains.
what I need is a DAS - Domain availability service.
Anybody know somewhere offering a service like that?
for example:
I want to query several hundred maybe thousands domains per day.
but I don't need any kind of whois data.
Al I need is
query something.com if registered return:1 if not return:0 kind of answer.

How much are you looking to spend on it?

@Admiral_Awesome
yes I am looking exactly for this!
thank you very much!
I owe you one
@emre : There is a free command line tool for Linux called "whois" ...
@4n0nx you are kidding, right?
No? You just type in "whois example.com" and it will tell you if the domain is registered and the whois information.
@4n0nx I am just trying to be sarcastic. but not good in this case.
anyway, whois have it's own limitations,
whois servers running on port 43 don't like "abusers" , even if I am not abusing them at all.
but I need to run at least 3-4k whois requests for different domains a day, so this is the problem.
All these requests are from legal users, even if I am using several differnt ip's to reach whois servers, they always find a way to ban my requests.
to this whoisapi stuff is here for a reason.
DAS - domain availabilty service is a must if you offer domain registrations on your site and have thousands of customers searching for domains any time of day.
hope you understand this time.
