Possible Duplicate:Good webapp for checking availability of domain names? My wife wants to register several new business domains. She is non-technical so would appreciate a solution that doesn't involve nslooukp and the command line. I used to have a desktop tool but oddly must have cleaned it off my machine by accident. Is there a website or tool that you trust?I've already had one recommendation for betterwhois - are they trustworthy?
Looking for a safe/tool site for checking domain names

I've been using domaintools.com various services for years. Its http://domain-search.domaintools.com/ give easy keyword search for domain names. It's safe enough for me.However, a desktop tool querying DNS servers directly may be safer for you.  Did the desktop tool you deleted, offer domain search by keyword?
