How is .auto availability checked?
.auto publishes an RDAP service through IANA's registry directory, so availability comes from the registry itself rather than from scraped text. That is the strongest answer this tool can give.
Results for this extension come back as a definitive available or registered answer.
How the checker answers thousands of names at once is in the Checker guide. Already registered? Marketplaces such as GoDaddy Auctions, SedoPartner, Dan.com list names for resale, and Domain Hub watches one until it drops.

.auto is a generic top level extension. It sees less use than the mainstream extensions, which usually means far more short names are still free. On renewal it is one of the more expensive extensions we track. Among generic extensions it has the 493rd lowest renewal price of 495. Budget on the renewal rather than the first year, which runs up to 1.6 times higher in year two.
