You'll need to do a whois query to determine if a domain is registered or not. Here is a whois script: Mike Nott ยป PHP Whois Script

You can ping it to see if it pings back. Or you can find API to programmatically check if it's registered - ProgrammableWeb - Mashups, APIs, and the Web as Platform

If you use a domain registry website if it is registered you will get similar results you may be interested in.

I would go with namecheap, since I have several domains there, and haven't got any problem so far. But anyway, website is one thing, and their API another.

That would work but sometimes a domain could be registered and not hosted, therefore it wouldn't ping. Also, some servers disable ICMP response so even if it were hosted it wouldn't respond to pings.
