Domain checks

Check a single domain

The Quick Domain Check box — modes, what the result shows, and re-checking saved domains.

Not verified yet

The quickest way to ask "is this name free?" or "who owns this?" is the Quick Domain Check box at the top of the Radar page.

Run a check

  1. Open app.norcube.comDomainRadar.
  2. Type the domain into the check box.
  3. The button next to the input shows the current mode (Availability by default); the dropdown arrow switches between:
    • Availability Check"Quick check if the domain is registered".
    • Verified"DNS/RDAP/WHOIS-verified availability, 0% false positives".
    • Basic Info"Registrar, registration, update, and expiry date".
    • Full WHOIS/RDAP"Complete WHOIS/RDAP data including raw response".
  4. Run the check.

When to pick which mode — and what each costs — is covered in Check modes.

Reading the result

  • A green banner — "This domain is available!" — or a red one — "This domain is not available."
  • Available domains get a Register on Namecheap link (what that does).
  • Basic Info / Full results add a detail panel: availability, the method that answered, registrar, created / last-updated / expiry dates — and for Full, the raw RDAP response (pretty-printed JSON) and raw WHOIS response, each with a Copy button.
  • Every result has a star — one click adds the domain to Saved Domains with this result attached.

Re-check a domain later

Saved domains carry their last result, which goes stale. On the Saved Domains page (and the saved-domains card on Radar), each row has a Recheck button that opens a mode-picker dialog — "Choose the check mode for this domain." — and runs a fresh check. The row updates with the new result.

Rate limits

Single checks are limited to 600 per hour per organization and 200 per hour per user; beyond that you'll get a 429 — see Limits and errors. Anything that would bump into those limits belongs in a bulk check anyway.

When to pick which mode

  • Checking a candidate name for a launch — Availability or Verified; ownership data doesn't matter yet.
  • Investigating a suspicious domain — Full: you want the raw record.
  • Triaging a Brand Monitor detection — the hit already includes registration data from its automatic enrichment; go Full only if you need the raw responses.
  • Checking a whole listbulk check, always.
