Domains

The <domain:check> command is used to determine if the domain name is currently registered and provides a hint about whether a <create> command would be successful. Further information on <domain:check> commands can be found in RFC 4931.

Usage

The <domain:check> command is subject to the Acceptable Use Policy. A check for multiple domains in one request will only succeed if the you are sufficiently below your abuse limit to guarantee completing the whole request.

We are currently (from 6 April 2010) investigating the impact of increased check limits on our EPP server. If you would like to help with load testing of the system, please contact support@nominet.org.uk.

Contacts

The <contact:check> command is used to determine if the contact identifier requested has been used within the registry. Further details on the representation of accounts and contacts can be found here and information on <contact:check> commands in RFC 4933.

Hosts

The <host:check> command is used to determine if the host name requested has been registered. Further information on <host:check> commands is in RFC 4932.
