It seems like whatever APIs you're using are really inconsistent about providing results, and you give no user feedback for this. This makes it seem like the website is broken (because it is).
If your service providers are throttling you because you're sending too many requests, you need to indicate this to the user.

So, I like the idea of having an easy way to check for naming conflicts, but as others have said, the implementation definitely needs some work.
As others have pointed out, it seems very unreliable and there isn't really any feedback given to the user that the app is actually working, waiting for a response, failed to get a response, etc.

You've spent time making it so the text-entry field changes depending on whether it is selected but there doesn't seem to be any way to submit. There is no button and enter does nothing.
