Please verify the availability of the domain name according to the following steps:

The availability of a domain name means that the domain has been registered with the registry and is ready to provide services, with the corresponding NS authorization resolution already in effect. 

Note: This does not include the setting of DNS records, as this part needs to be implemented through a third-party service provider.

On Windows OS:

  • Start → Open ‘Command’ or ‘PowerShell’
  • Run command: nslookup -type=ns YOURDOMAIN ns01la.ggff.net
  • Check if the nameservers exists in the output and if the values are correct.

Note: Just change YOURDOMAIN to your real domain, don't change any other content when run command.

On Mac/Linux OS:

  • Open ‘Terminal’
  • Run command: dig YourDomain NS @ns02la.ggff.net
  • Check if the nameservers exists in the ‘AUTHORITY SECTION’ and if the values are correct.

Note: Just change YOURDOMAIN to your real domain, don't change any other content when run command.
