Check a name

One command, straight against the registry — no account, no page to load.

Name

Fills the command and the registrar links below in with your own name. The page is static — nothing is looked up here, and nothing you type leaves the browser.

ds mybrand --tld xn--kpry57d

Add --where for the registrars and the registry's rules, --registry for the server that answered, or --all-info for everything at once.

What it costs

No registrar in the price table bundled with ds quotes .台灣, so the CLI prints no figure beside it — one of 927 such TLDs. That is a gap in the table as often as it is a TLD nobody sells. See Prices for supplying your own table with --pricing-file.

Who can register

No eligibility rule is on file for .台灣, which is not the same as a promise that it is open: the list is hand-maintained and covers the restricted TLDs a registrar is likely to offer you. Check the registry's own page before counting on a name. 81 TLDs do carry a rule — see Who can register.

How `ds` answers for it

RDAP first, WHOIS second — the same order for every TLD. .台灣 has an RDAP service and no WHOIS entry, so every answer is authoritative RDAP.

RDAP: https://ccrdap.twnic.tw/taiwanFrom IANA's bootstrap, refreshed when this page was built. The lookup is https://ccrdap.twnic.tw/taiwan/domain/mybrand.xn--kpry57d — a 404 means the name is free.

ds mybrand --tld xn--kpry57d --registry prints whichever of these answered. If a bundled WHOIS host has gone stale, IANA is asked who serves .台灣 today. See Accuracy notes.

The registry

From IANA's delegation record for .台灣. .台灣 is a country-code TLD.

Run by: Taiwan Network Information Center (TWNIC)Based in Taiwan. Delegated 2010-07-14, record last updated 2026-04-24.
Registry site: rs.twnic.net.twWhere the registry documents .台灣 — its rules, its accredited registrars, and any launch phases. Not a shop: registries sell wholesale to registrars, not to you.
Published services: ccrdap.twnic.tw · whois.twnic.net.twWhat the registry itself tells IANA it runs. They agree with what ds asks.
Name servers: anytld.apnic.netd.dns.twe.dns.twf.dns.twg.dns.twh.dns.twThe 6 authoritative servers for the .台灣 zone — what the root delegates to. Nothing ds queries directly; they are what makes a registered name resolve.

What it is

Derived from the root zone and ICANN's registry list — each one is a fact with a source.

country-code IANA Root Zone Database types it "country-code"
idn the label is punycode — an internationalised TLD; unicode is how it reads

In the root zone

The delegation itself, read out of the root zone — serial 2026090900, on 2026-09-09. The registry section above is IANA's record of what .台灣 was delegated to; this is what the root actually answers with when a resolver asks it where .台灣 lives.

Delegated to: d.dns.tw60.199.165.1862001:4541:9010:7::186
e.dns.tw211.20.231.112001:b000:1e0:c000::11

anytld.apnic.net202.12.31.532001:dd8:12::53
The 6 name servers the root hands out for .台灣, with the glue addresses that come with them — 4 of them answer over IPv6. None of this is what ds queries: these servers know which names exist, not who registered them.
DNSSEC: Signed — 1 DS record in the root
key 47369ECDSA P-256/SHA-256 · SHA-2568C19BB787937BA0EDBD264A2975B896DDF25F9C1A36E87A94C3995DBDD1A220E
Each one is a fingerprint of .台灣's own signing key, published by the root and signed with the root's key — which is how a resolver that trusts only one key can prove an answer under .台灣 came from its registry and was not tampered with in transit. It says nothing about who owns a name or whether one is free.

Ask the root yourself — no registry involved, and the same records this section was built from: dig +norec @a.root-servers.net xn--kpry57d. NS and dig +norec @a.root-servers.net xn--kpry57d. DS.
