  • receiving a search request to determine the availability of a sublevel domain in a plurality of ccTLDs from a user, wherein the sublevel domain combined with a ccTLD represents a complete domain name;

    prior to conducting a search based on the search request, dividing said search request into a plurality of subsearches;

    assigning each subsearch to a search thread in a persistent search thread pool; and

    conducting each subsearch in parallel, each subsearch querying a server responsible for determining the availability of a domain name for at least one ccTLD contained in the subsearch.
