    Problem API .Top

    I am having problems with checking .Top domain, all domian I check the status .Top extension "NOT AVAILABLE" when these domains have not been in the altogether.

    I use WHMCS, the API checks:
    .Top | whois.nic.top | No match

    I want to ask here, is there any alternative other APIs we can use a little checking .Top be normal again?

    Please input and suggestions.

    I can't answer your question - but I would strongly urge you to abandon .top registrations and recommend to your customers that they avoid it like the plague that it is.

    Bulk registrations of .top domains can be had for as little as 60 cents (US) per year per domain.

    ... and of course the spammers rejoiced!

    If your customers register a .top domain and then try to use it for much of anything they're not going to like the results - since their mail is likely to be trashed on sight, or refused outright.

    More than 20% of the spam hitting our servers has a From address or PTR record using the .top TLD... and 100% (no joke) of mail that has a From domain or PTR using .top? Is spam. :|

    Basically the Registrar for this TLD made the entire TLD useless to anyone but spammers with their boneheaded pricing - because admins everywhere are coming to the conclusion that if the From or PTR has .top in it then it should be binned on sight.
    "I've seen spam you people wouldn't believe. Routers on fire off the OCs of AGIS. I watched MXes burning in the dark near the Cyberpromo Gateway. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. TTL=0."
