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 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.
