Ways to tell if a domain I'm going to buy is Banned/Backlisted?

Hey everyone! Just discovered this forum today and all the posts I've been reading on here so far has been awesome. Glad I found it and thanks for being helpful.

I was trying to find this on search, but didn't have any luck. I found a domain that I want to purchase, but noticed something strange. The .org and .net domain names are taken, but the .com is still available to purchase. I was wondering if this could be because a previous owner damaged the reputation or something (not sure if there's a specific name for it, still picking up on the lingo so I can sound less noobish :p ). Anyways, does anyone know if there is some site I can check to see if there are any problems with the domain, or am I just being paranoid?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 


Check domain history and achieve.org

I've made this mistake before (buying the wrong domain), and its impossible to fix.
