Are domain providers actually snatching available domains checked by users? Best way to check bulk domain lists for availability?
There are often comments by users reporting providers such as GoDaddy snatching domains shortly after the user checked its availability. I'm curious what you guys think whether this actually happens? I'm actually someone that has tried to investigate this multiple times in the past when we can get an OP to provide a domain name. It's always been registered long before they tried to register it. Which means the registrar just failed to check that it was registered with the registry and presented as available but by the time they get to the checkout it's been rechecked and unavailable. This is the only reference that it did take place sometime in the far distant past which they put a stop to it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_tasting and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_front_running In this context I'm also wondering if there's a somewhat safe way to check bulk domain lists for availability (ideally by an independent organization)? I couldn't find any such tool by ICANN for example so I'd appreciate any input what you guys would use for that. Not aware of a tool that can do this in bulk but it would definitely be possible. Personally, I just avoid all chances of doubt by checking it directly with https://lookup.icann.org/en for all top level domains for country codes I used the local registries WHOIS.

Where can I search if a domain exists without sparking the domain pricing up?
In my opinion, this is not a thing for serious providers/resellers. Also, why is it that so many people are obsessed with godaddy? Iโ€˜d look anywhere else but there for domains. More on reddit.com

r/Domains on Reddit: Are domain providers actually snatching available domains checked by users? Best way to check bulk domain lists for availability?
July 4, 2024 -

There are often comments by users reporting providers such as GoDaddy snatching domains shortly after the user checked its availability. I'm curious what you guys think whether this actually happens? Personally I have no idea how likely it is but considering that they won't register all domains checked by users there would have to be some kind of analysis to ensure it's a domain that would presumably be registered by the user. Since GoDaddy specifically is shady anyway I wouldn't rule out the possibility either though.

In this context I'm also wondering if there's a somewhat safe way to check bulk domain lists for availability (ideally by an independent organization)? I couldn't find any such tool by ICANN for example so I'd appreciate any input what you guys would use for that.

Sometimes false availability also shows up. As soon as we click on add to cart it says some error like cannot be added. I've seen sometimes people searching a domain and it shows available then after a while come to add to cart and this happens. So keep this in mind also. I don't think these platforms are evil. if you're still skeptical use : https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup

December 26, 2022 -

I'm looking to see if there is an existing domain. But from thinking about it, these services will increase the domain price since there is demand...

So I'd like to know if I can do it without having this issue.

Also, do domain services like GoDaddy automatically increase the price of the domain you're looking for right when searching for it on their website?
