I have been searching for a name on various domain register sites, some say available and some say that it is registered. I have also searched it online but nothing comes up which leads me to believe that it is not actually registered but I could be wrong.
Will it just not show up as any kind of webpage if someone has registered it but not done anything with it or will it tell me it's in use?
Is there a definitive way to know with any particular domain registry site? do they all use the same register or at least should they?
Thanks for any help, I'm slowly being sent round the bend.

That the thing 123 says it's available but Go Daddy says it's been registered. Very confusing
Go with 123, its only 7 quid you've got nowt to lose.
Are you doing it to set up a web site?
Only asking because you will need to be able to re direct the name to your web site, some domain name registers don't allow access to change the direction without a hefty charge, so be careful.
Thanks for that did not know they hit with charges to redirect, yes I want to use it for a website and be able to use the name to do that with.
I want to use it with the Creative Motion Design Website, how much did 123 charge you to direct yours to Foliopic?
It's 2 steps forward at the moment and 1 step back, I will get there in the end fingers crossed!
Thanks again
Mine's registered with Enom, via Google Apps and the name's redirected to my website for free.
Admittedly, mine's a Google site but I'm pretty sure that you can redirect to any site without charge.
Costs nothing to have a look.
Mine's a dot com address by the way and costs $5 pa.

I did wonder.
Thank you for the hep I have now registered a domain with 123, so all I need to do now is put the site togther and then redirect it. All sounds easy, I'm sure it won't be

Stu its dead easy mate, if you go with Foliopic the set up is explained very simply, I did it so it must be simple......LOL.
This shows the steps needed to be done.........domain redirection
I bought and have 3 registered domain names with 1&1. You can do it all via them and for £7each for two years they are great. They do not charge for sub domains. You can then redirect to Foliopic as I do.
