.com.bd whois server issue


serverbd

Recommended Posts

it no longer works for a number of reasons - not the least of which being that you can't find an availability string that is always true only for unregistered domains...

so if we search for jhdhgdgdfggfddd.com.bd, the whois server responds (along with some google ads)...

which makes you think that you can use "IP: Unable to resolve IP" as the availability string... except that you can't because when you check a registered domain such as whois.com.bd, we get the following back..

as you can see, even a registered .com.bd can have "IP: Unable to resolve IP" in the result! :mad:

with WHMCS, you will need to find an availability string that is shown only with available domains - whois.com.bd no longer does that, so unless you can find an alternative site that WHMCS can use, you won't be able to make accurate .com.bd lookups.

i'm not aware of any alternate sites for looking up .bd domains that WHMCS can successfully use... if you find one, let the rest of us know! :idea:

as you're in Bangladesh, it may be worth contacting BTCL or telephoning / emailing the technical contact for the TLD - as I would imagine the loss of this whois will prevent you from offering .bd domains to your customers via WHMCS.
