Checking domain availability
Once you have entered the required domain name and the required top-level domain(s) (TLDs), the availability query initially allows you to check the availability of the domain. Please enter the domain name without the “http://www.” prefix.
Then click on the “Next” button to display the results for domain availability. If the required domain name is available, you can register the domain by clicking on the “Assign” button. If the required domain name is unavailable, and provided you are the domain holder, you can transfer the domain in question (ChProv or transfer request). You will also see a display of alternative proposals if the domain name you require is available under another top-level domain.
