I'm currently using a node package to check if a ".blog" domain exists.

The package uses WhoIs information to do this. Most TLD's work fine. I noticed that it uses "whois.nic.blog" to check ".blog" domains. However, it doesn't respond (or error).

If I manually go to "whois.nic.blog" (it appears in a google search too) The page doesn't load.

Does anyone have any idea how I can check for ".blog" domains and why this might not be working. Should i check somewhere else?

I'm using: https://www.npmjs.com/package/whois to check.

  • `whois.nic.blog` is correct and it responds to WHOIS queries for me. – hobbs Mar 04 '20 at 10:31
  • IANA lists official registry per TLD and `whois.nic.blog` is indeed official whois server for .BLOG so you should query it, but it is not necessarily a wesite, juste a whois server on port 43. Double check that you do not have firewall/routing issue to reach it, or maybe you are just rate limited. – Patrick Mevzek Mar 08 '20 at 03:31
