fekaduw Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 hello everyone, i am about to host a new website. But the domain name that my client wants is already taken by someone (i looked into it and its not available). I checked the website and it displays "Page Can not be displayed" error message.

Wildbug Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Use the whois command from a UNIX prompt or an online whois database. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/48317-how-can-i-know/#findComment-236237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragen Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 do a whois domain lookup. that will give you the host and owner of the domain. It will also list how long the domain will be registered for. If it is owned by a company it should have their contact details on, in which case you could probably contact them and ask about it. here's a whois lookup site: http://www.who.is/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/48317-how-can-i-know/#findComment-236238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
