External Services

This plugin connects to external services to obtain domain information and TLD validation data. These services are essential for providing accurate domain availability information and ensuring proper domain validation.

IANA RDAP DNS Bootstrap Service

• What the service is : IANA RDAP DNS Bootstrap Service (https://data.iana.org/rdap/dns.json) – The official Internet Assigned Numbers Authority service for RDAP server discovery
• What it is used for : Primary source for obtaining the official list of TLD (Top Level Domains) and their corresponding RDAP servers
• What data is sent : No personal data is sent. The plugin downloads the public DNS bootstrap file containing TLD-to-RDAP-server mappings
• When data is sent : During TLD list updates (manual or automatic) and when validating domain extensions

RDAP Servers (Various Domain Registries)

• What the service is : Various RDAP servers operated by domain registries and registrars worldwide (e.g., Verisign for .com/.net, PIR for .org, etc.)
• What it is used for : Querying domain registration information and availability status using the RDAP protocol
• What data is sent : Only the domain name being queried (e.g., “example.com”). No personal or sensitive information is transmitted
• When data is sent : When users perform domain availability searches through the plugin interface

Important Notes : – Domain queries are cached locally to improve performance and reduce external service requests – No personal, private, or sensitive data is transmitted to these services – Only domain names and TLD information are sent for legitimate domain availability checking – All communications use secure HTTPS connections – The plugin respects rate limiting and best practices for RDAP queries – If external services are unavailable, the plugin uses cached TLD data and provides appropriate error messages
