Weird - I just checked it on both Namecheap and Godaddy and apparently it's still available. Will double-check with the WHOIS database now. Thanks for letting me know!

Sure thing, I really appreciate your site by the way! There actually are services that list good available domain names already but they all want to sell you the list before you can even know if their list is any good, so I've never bothered.

As for extra-small, I used Google Domains to check it, it certainly seems to be registered as of May 16th.

I did some more digging, it appears that namecheap (or another registrar/reseller) squatted it and is reselling it as a premium domain for $190.

I suppose in the most technical sense, it is available, but my assumption was that this was a list of unregistered domains rather than say an AfterNIC competitor. Would it be possible to note in your database which domains are unregistered and which are being scalped?

Interesting! I didn't know that Namecheap was into domain name squatting but I guess the cat's out of the bag now! As for the note, I'll have to figure out how to do that because right now, all I can do is filter out the premium domains - which I suppose are the ones that are being scalped, right?

Also, thank you for your kind words! And wow, I didn't know that people would actually sell lists like this - I was just building something that I knew I would want to use without really expecting anything in return, and I guess a lot of people found it useful too! :D

How do you know that it’s the registrar (namecheap) that owns it and not one of their customers?

Great question! I'm not so sure myself - anybody knows anything about this?

And isn’t one word.
