Here are a couple of indispensable tools for website planning and testing...

Domain Lookup - Test to see if the domain name you are interested in is available or not.

Network Query - Perform a battery of tests on a given domain.
   Check the IP number the domain name resolves to.
   Get the domain's DNS records.
   Perform a Whois search on both the IP number and the domain name.
   Test the domain host's connectivity by port, ping and traceroute.
