You can find out if a domain is taken for free on the official domain name registrar — REG.RU . It contains data on all free and taken domains. You can determine if a domain name is taken by following the instructions below:

Go to the REG.RU website . On the first screen you will see a data entry field with the buttons "Select" and "Whois".

In the free field, enter the domain name you are interested in and click "Select". The the usage of facebook database system will show all domains that are in use and free at the moment. The occupied ones are marked in red, and the free ones are green. If you click the "Whois" button, you will receive information about a specific domain, including information for purchase.

The "Choose" button will allow you to immediately buy any free domain that suits your price. The system will offer to register the name you choose, as well as use additional services. For example, buy an SSL certificate.
