by Md.Mahmudul Hasan Tuhin · 9 years ago

Make it possible to perform domain availability checks via a domain registrar.

This will provide the ability to:

Perform more performant searches
Obtain more information about an available domain such as Premium status and pricing
Provide domain suggestions to end users
Avoid whois lookup rate limiting

Domain availability checks are performed using the domain registrar, and domains using the "Generic Domains" module are done via a whois lookup for manual registration. The ability to sell premium domains with dynamic pricing is planned for the future, and should be its own request.
