Bulk whois. Bulk domain occupancy check. The problem with selecting domains and why they need to be checked
We have released a new book “Content Marketing in in social networks: How to get into your subscribers’ heads and make them fall in love with your brand.”
A domain name is an important component of any website. The promotion of an Internet resource in search engines and its memorability by the audience as a whole depend on it.
The name is registered for a period of 1 year, after which its renewal is offered mainly to the current administrator, and if he refuses the name, then another administrator can register the domain after a month.
Who does the registration
This function is entrusted to the shoulders of registrar companies, each of which also has an extensive affiliate network. The most famous registrars: Ru-Center, GodDeddy, R01, Reg-Ru and others.
Checking domain occupancy, searching for available domain names in all other zones
You may like some Domain name, for example, a website.. Therefore, before registering, you need to check the domain name for availability. For this purpose, the WHOIS service is provided, which collects data about web resources: full name of the owner (organization), registration dates, IP address, hosting, history. This functionality is built into the service of each registrar, and before selecting it, it automatically checks the name for availability.
Let's look at how this WHOIS functionality works in Ru-Center.
Come in Personal Area not necessary. On home page Internet resource, enter the domain of interest to us in the proposed field.
Occupied title created in 2014 and extended until 2019. Here we see the registrar company - EDT, the administrator is located in Russia, Voronezh region.
Scrolling down the screen we will see that the service offers registration of similar names in the same or other free zones. If you wish, we can take advantage of this offer.
The services of all registrars work in a similar way with minor differences. For example, R01, if the domain check for occupancy gives a positive answer, offers to select it in another zone.
There are also third-party services on the Internet that help you choose a suitable name for your website.
Mass verification
CY-PR
In order to check whether the domain is free, and also to find out the dates of registration and release, the owner and the registrar company, enter the names of sites (up to 30 pieces) in the proposed field.
The first is that the data is hidden, but the name is taken. The second is Reg-RU registrar, released in March 2019, the third was created by RELCOMHOST in 1998, and is also occupied.
PR-CY
Enter the list and click “Check”.
The mysterious semantica still does not reveal its secrets. The only thing that can be understood is that it is a trust site.
Mass verification free domains is also available in other convenient online services, such as WWHOIS.
Enter the name (without zone), mark the zones we are interested in below, and check.
You can analyze the indicators of employed people, and register those who are free.
What to do if you want a busy name
If you are vitally interested in “staking out” your favorite occupied name, then you can wait for it to become available. When there are no changes on the site, it is not updated, and it looks abandoned, then it is likely that it will be possible to purchase this title. The advantage of buying a name with age is that the search engine trusts sites more with age, and places young domains in a certain filter in order to determine the quality and subject matter of new sites. Therefore, with age, a domain has a greater chance of taking leading positions for key queries. But there is also a pitfall - if you purchase an age-appropriate name, then be sure to check whether penalties have been imposed on it, otherwise, instead of quickly moving the site in the search, you will have to remove other people's filters.
So, you have found an interesting title that will be released soon. What to do? There are auctions in Reg-Ru and Rucenter that allow you to send an appropriate application to the registrar to participate in the buyout.
We select the release date, qualitative and quantitative indicators, zone, etc.
In our example, we did not indicate a specific name, but we found all the names that were released on September 11th.
So, finding out if a domain is free is quite simple. The main thing in this process is to acquire a really beautiful and high-quality name, which will be a good help in promoting the Internet resource.
It’s easy to choose a beautiful and memorable name for your website using the intelligent domain verification service. Searching for free domains is carried out in the following ways:
- Enter a keyword into the selection form in Russian, for example “auto”, “fast car”, or in English - “car”, “auto”.
- Or enter a domain with a zone, for example auto-1.ru, auto.rf.
Don't list complex options. The simpler and shorter the domain name, the better it is remembered. Click the "Select" button. Checking a domain will take just a few seconds, during which we will generate an appropriate list of available domains.
The service will also offer to use synonyms for keywords, with the help of which you will expand the range of choice among words with similar meanings.
You can find a domain in thematic domain zones. Websites in such domain zones will instantly convey the essence of your proposal. Just select the most suitable category (sports, business or finance) on the left and start selecting domains.
By checking the “Show busy” checkbox, you will see information about busy domain names. If the domain is busy, then look available options in other zones and synonyms. Click the “Buy” button next to suitable available domain names, place and pay for your order through the Control Panel. Be sure to provide the correct details when placing an order, as this is where the site name will be registered.

Hello friends! Vasily Blinov is with you again, and in today’s next part about domain names, I will tell you how to check the history of a domain and why it is necessary to do this before purchasing.
As part of my course “How to create your own blog/information site and make money from it” in the Knowledge Base, I strongly recommend students to do a domain check and take only those with zero or good history. Now I will explain why.
Why check history?
If you are a beginner and not familiar with what search engine filters, domain reputation, indexing and website ranking are, then let me briefly explain in simple words.
On the Internet and in any search engine There are a lot of algorithms that analyze each resource according to many indicators. During the operation of the site, it undergoes thousands of checks. Since no indicators can be applied to the resource data itself, due to the fact that they are constantly changing, all check parameters are assigned to its address, that is, the domain.
If the site had non-unique content for a long time, viruses, prohibited materials (for adults, extremism, drug propaganda, etc.), low-quality links were bought or sold, over-optimized articles were published, spam, etc., then most likely the domain name of such The site is under filters and blocked.
Therefore, when you buy a domain like this with a bad history, be prepared for problems with indexing and promotion. This situation online can be compared to imprisonment; the “previously convicted” status on the name will remain for a long time, perhaps even forever, and will interfere with development.
It is impossible to find out about all the filters and blockings; one can only guess by analyzing the data stored in history on some special services. Let's look at how to use them in detail.
7 History Check Methods
Reg.ru (paid method)
The first method you can use is a special history checking tool from the official registrar REG.RU.
By following the direct link: reg.ru/whois/history. Register, top up your balance with the required amount and request this verification.
Of course, it will be expensive to check all the addresses while searching and choosing the right one. Therefore, it is better to use it if you have already specifically decided on some free option.
All subsequent methods are free.
Whoishistory.ru
Whoishistory.ru is a standard service for viewing publicly available information about a domain. Works only with domain zones .ru, .su, .рф.
It is not necessary to use the advanced functionality, no matter how many times I tried it, it does not show particularly important data. Just enter the address in the green field and click “Find”.
Data for each year is shown separately, in my case - for 3 years:
- Hosting server where located.
- Availability status.
- Registered by. If it is for an individual, as in my case, then specifically for whom it is not shown.
- From which registrar was it purchased?
- Date of registration (age).
- Dates when it was extended.
Based on this data, the most important thing that can be seen is whether he was previously occupied with someone or not and how long ago he was occupied.
If you see that it has already been used, we analyze it with the following services.
Linkpad.ru
Linkpad.ru is a tool for analyzing incoming, outgoing and internal links on a website. If there was previously a website on the domain and it was indexed normally, then this service will show which links were on this site and which were linked to it.
In this way, you can determine the topic of the former resource and the quality of the links.
In my case, the domain is completely new and all data for the last 5 years is zero. Here is an example of a occupied domain, the site on which is no longer working, is up for sale and which I wanted to buy.
You can also see which pages were recently on the site.
There is nothing wrong with such a domain; we can assume that the story is normal. But the price they offered for it was 28,000 rubles. And it goes against my principles to buy domain names from cybersquatters.
Screenshots.com is a service that takes screenshots of websites and saves them in history. Its downside is that it only takes screenshots of popular sites.
It does not show various small resources that were on the domain for a short time. The following service copes with this task better.
Archive.org
Archive.org is a worldwide Internet archive that periodically preserves the appearance of sites throughout its operation. You can see what popular Internet giants looked like before and have changed since their creation.
The scale at the top shows all the years and the number of saves. And in the calendar there are numbers circled and highlighted in bold when the archive was saved. By clicking on them you can view it. This is what my blog looked like when I first launched it in 2014.
Using these extreme two methods, you can determine what kind of site was on the domain, and whether it violated any Internet norms.
Checking in search
It also doesn't hurt to ask Yandex and Google what they remember about the former website located on the domain of your choice. To do this, enter the entire domain name into the search bar and see the results.
If you put a domain in quotation marks and put an exclamation mark in front of the word (I recommend reading the article about search secrets), then Yandex will show only direct occurrences of the word you are looking for.
