A URL, or Uniform Resource Locater, has become the standard for website identification. The URL is what you type into the address bar of a browser so that you can go to that specific website. As an example, Google’s URL is www.google.com. However, the www. part is pretty irrelevant now. Also, the URL is not to be mistaken for the domain name. The two terms are normaly used virtually interchangeably, which they nearly are. In a technical sense, the domain name is the main part of a website, such as www.mysite.com. If there are pages inside the site, one may be listed as www.mysite.com/user/content. In this case, www.mysite.com/user/content is the URL of the webpage, while www.mysite.com remains the overall domain name. With the swift growth rate of the Internet (about 40,000 new registered domain names a day), it can be very difficult to figure out which site names are already in use. This information is important to know if you are looking to establish your own webpage or if you execute web analytics for a living.
Naturally, checking the validity of domain names always involves an Internet connection. It would be impossible to monitor the domain name modifications and keep them available offline. Consequently, there are a number of websites used to decide on availability of a domain name. One such website is very simplistic in that it offers a box into which you may enter your domain name. The website then searches for a website by that name and returns whether the address is in use or not.
Luckily, a program is available from http://www.hothotsoftware.com/urlchecker_websitechecker_software/ that permits for a colossal search of domain name registrations. By going to the website and searching for Check if URL Exists’ you can find a program for your exact purpose. After opening the software, you will notice that it is written in a standard user interface so nearly anyone experienced with a computer can control the software. The application also operates completely within a single window. This prevents any possibility of getting lost within the program. The window of the application is split into three main parts. The upper half of the window has a box that can be populated with potential domain names. These names can be anything that you wish to check the availability. After entering all of the domain names you need to check, there is a function towards the bottom of the window which enables for added domain name searches. This function is titled as Add These Domain Types to List’. Within the field you can enter .com, .net, .biz, etc. The program will then add these suffixes to any other domain names you have already entered. As an example, if you enter mysite.com in the upper half of the window and proceed to run the Add These Domains’ function the program will search for the availability of mysite.com, mysite.net, and mysite.biz. This will allow for faster searching across a appreciably broader selection of names.
The bottom half of the window is divided into two sections. The left half is labeled as List of Good Domains’ and the domain names presently registered will appear here. Alternatively, any currently unregistered domain names will appear on the right half of the window. This enables for a very quick comparison amongst your results.
