Domain Name Registration Lookup
There are literally thousands of online services that allow webmasters to lookup domain name registration information. These services will tell the webmaster if a domain name is available for registration or already registered. Many domain registrars allow users to place so called backorders which will basically make the domain registrar register the domain name in case the original owner does not renew the domain name in time.
There are however only a few software programs available that can lookup domain name registration information. The Domain Name Status Reporter supports the most popular domain name extensions like com, net and org but also country specific domain name extensions such as de, ca or fr.

It is possible to add new domain extensions in the options. All it takes is to enter the domain extension and a whois lookup server that is providing those information. Domain names can be entered manually or automatically from a text file. Each domain name will be listed in a table that is displayed in the main interface.
A click on Lookup All will perform the domain name registration lookup. The program will display if the domain name is available or taken. If it is taken it will display information about the registration date, the domain registrar, the domain expiration date and the last domain update.
The program is missing the means to automate the lookups so that the added domain names would be regularly checked.
