I don't think it does Foreign, but it has a lot of other options, including Dynamic Hosting services. There is a lot of management options with them. I've used DynDns.com for the past 5+ years.

Get some foreign chap who works for next-to-nothing, but who is a genius script-writer to write the code for you. You then set up your own service for free. Send the details to all of those in a hurry, but who want the 'pleasant' experience you mention. Bung on some high paying banner ads, and Hey-Presto....You're rich.

This displays the same message as if the domain isn't registered at all, I think, though I may be wrong and it might just be a 'similar but different' message. Having said that, it's how I do it and I've learnt that over 90% of the time it's right to assume that the domain is unregistered. Some of these websites/widgets/applications, however, also give information as to the current registrar (if the domain isn't unregistered) and the account in the registrar, allowing you to send an email if that information is there enquiring about maybe buying the domain. So basically, it's a domain checker, registrar, who-is and email application all in one :-) This sometimes doesn't work – sometimes a registered domain has blank spaces in their registrar account where the nameservers of their hosting company should go.
