The search reports that the domain name is available even though I know it is taken. Why?

You must not enter www in front of the domain name. In www.mumbaihosting.com
only mumbaihosting.com is the domain name and in this case www is not a part of
the domain name but indicates the computer resource name (see also the
explanation of domain name). If you do enter www you may receive a response that
the domain name is available, even though it is taken. You cannot search on
subdomains either, since it is only the owner of the top-level domain who knows
if the subdomain is available.
Dots in the search are only permitted as
separators between top-level domains and subdomains.
Searches are made in the
format SUBDOMAIN.TOP-LEVEL DOMAIN, e.g. mumbaihosting.com, tuborg.dk,
rover.co.uk, ports.se etc.
