    Checking if an unregged domain has been regged before

    Does anyone know of a service/site that does this? Right now I'm scraping a whois type site to check if a domain has been regged before, which works but isnt 100%. Archive.org less so. Maybe you know of other kinds of sites that give this info? I need to automate it to use in my spam domain tool.

    Registering multiple .uk domains

    I need to scale one of my projects up, currently running on ~30 uk domains under one name. I've registered a handful using bogus but technically valid details and falling foul of ID checks a month later. Does anyone have experience with this? the sites need to be .uk ideally and want to...

    indexing .uk domains

    so a while ago registration of .uk (as opposed to .co.uk etc) was allowed, and so I scooped some up pretty generic domains with keywords in for a bit of duplicate content spam. I've done what I usually do to get google to start indexing these domains, which have between 10-100k pages (of dupe...

    Image caching

    for some reason, all images on wickedfire.com have a Cache-Control:max-age=165, public header, so images are only cached for 2 minutes. It makes browsing the site pretty slow and lethargic at times. Pretty odd as theres a X-CDN:Incapsula header too, would have thought they'd have a much longer...

    I've been mailed by all the various registrars about these new gtld's over the last few months, and now they are here. .diamonds, .enterprises, .tips, .voyage, .sexy, .tattoo and hundreds more. Didn't these cost in the order of 100k to register? I'm really struggling to see the point of...

    Ways to destroy/delete/clean old website accounts
