When a network resource request having a domain name is received, it is
determined whether the network resource can be accessed from the domain
name. Rather than, or in addition to, displaying an error message or
processing a search request in response to determining that a network
resource can not be accessed, the domain name can instead be redirected
to a registration service where the domain name can be automatically used
to perform a registration request and determine domain name availability.
When the domain name is not available for registration, domain name
registrant information is provided. However, when the domain name is
determined available, a registration form is provided. For example, such
a domain name may be redirected from the autosearch feature of a web
browser to a service, which determines that the domain name is available
for registration enabling a potential registrant to register the
available domain name by selecting a domain name registration provider
from a list of domain name registration providers.
