Friends! if you are searching how to find out if a domain is taken, Then you are at right place. domain on the Internet is a URL address whose owner can only be a person or a company. For example, Google.com, Facebook.com, and Youtube.com are all domain names, or URLs.
A website is created on it in the name of the domain and then information is shared on it in many ways. In such a situation, people want to buy a domain with a name which is a brand or people search more on the Internet, because in such a case, their website can get more views and they can earn a lot.
Once someone bought Google’s domain and then after giving a lot of money to Google, that domain was returned. Recently, a news also came that someone has bought the domain of Jiohotstar.com and demanded 1 crore rupees from Jio in return.
In such a situation, in today’s article, we will tell you how to find out whether any domain has been purchased or not. Along with this, if someone has bought any domain, then how to get its information and more details.
How to find out if a domain is taken?
If any domain has been bought, then other people cannot buy that domain. In such a situation, first of all you can check any name on a platform like Domain Selling Website such as Godaddy, Namecheaps.
For example, first of all open website https://www.godaddy.com/en-in.
After that you can search by typing any domain in it.
For example, I have searched here – jiohostar, so you must be seeing that the most main name of this domain i.e. .com, has already been bought by someone.
Let us tell you that any domain has different extensions. Such as – .com, .in, .org, .live, .online, .gov.in etc.
There are some extensions which are only for the government in which – .gov.in or – .gov.org is written. Along with this, in the extension of some domains, – .org or something else is written which addresses an organization.
In such a situation, a domain can have many extensions.
Like –
jiohotstar.com
jiohotstar.in
jiohotstar.info
jiohotstar.shop
jiohotstar.online
In such a situation, let us tell you that only if the domain extension i.e. .com or .in is also there, then these are two different websites. That is, on jiohotstar.com you will see some other data and on jiohostar.in you will see some other data.
In such a situation, if you are searching for any domain, then make sure that you are searching the full name of the domain i.e. along with its extension.
The biggest company selling domains on the internet is Godaddy. If a person has bought a domain, then Godaddy has a domain broker which can contact the domain owner for domain transfer.
But they also charge some money for this deal, about which you can get more information by visiting the Goaddy platform.
If no one has already bought a domain, then as soon as you search for that domain, its name will be available and you can buy that domain by clicking on the buy option.
Above you can see that you can easily buy Tatajio.in domain. In such a situation, after searching the name of any domain, if the option to buy it is available, then no one has taken that domain.
But if even after searching the domain, the option to buy does not appear and it shows that the domain is already taken, then someone has already bought that domain. How To Find Out Who Is The Owner Of Any Domain?
If after searching a domain, it shows that the domain is already taken, then you can find out the owner of that domain on the Internet. For that, open this website on the Internet – https://who.is/.
For example, I searched – jio.com, then you can see that a lot of information has come up about this domain. Like from which company the domain has been taken.
Along with this, you can also see when this domain will expire and when it was purchased i.e. registered.
Along with this, you can also check other details like address, mobile number, country etc., so that you can see who has purchased this domain.
Another way is that if you want to know who is the owner of that domain, then you can search that domain or open that website and see.
For example, you can see that I have opened jio.com here.
After that you can see the Contact option in the Header Menu or Footer Menu. And you can also know the details of the company through About Us. In such a case, you can find out about the owner of any website with the help of the Contact Detail or About Us information given on the website.
Along with this, let me tell you one thing that if somebody buys the website of a big company’s brand, then legal action can be taken against him. Because by creating a website in the name of any company, you cannot use it for personal work.
