Domain pre-purchase check

Due diligence on a domain before buying: WHOIS age and history, RKN blocks, DNS state and past life in search.

Buying or leasing a domain with history is always a gamble: behind an attractive name there can be a regulatory block, a spam past search engines haven't forgotten, or someone else's trademark that forces you to abandon the project later. Checking all of that manually — WHOIS, block registries, DNS, mention history — takes time and requires knowing exactly where to look.

What it does

Given a domain name, the skill checks four angles: WHOIS age and ownership history, whether the domain appears in Russia's regulatory block registry, its current DNS state, and traces of its past life in search — mentions, spam signals, or someone else's brand showing up on it.

What you get

A structured dossier across all four areas, with red flags (active blocks, past spam, trademark conflicts) and green signals (solid age, clean history) called out separately, and a closing verdict: buy, buy with specific caveats, or don't buy. Run this before any purchase of a domain with a history — especially one that looks suspiciously well-suited to its niche — or when comparing several candidates at a domain auction.

FAQ

Why check a domain before buying it?
A domain can carry a hidden history — a regulatory block, a spam past, or someone else's trademark in the name — any of which can derail a project after purchase.
What if the domain is blocked in Russia?
For a project targeting a Russian audience, that's flagged as a dealbreaker red flag — you can't promote a site on a domain the regulator has blocked.
Does the skill make the final call for me?
No — it compiles the factual dossier and a verdict (buy, buy with caveats, or don't buy), and the final decision is yours.
