Checking domain name availability

Where is the best place to safely check domain name availability? I read in a forum that you are not to check domain availability on Go Daddy unless you would register the domain right way if it was available.

I use this domain name search: instantdomainsearch.com As you can see every query is encrypted, that is, if you want to believe them. But I think it's pretty reliable.

Yes, usually when you search a domain name and do not register it for sometime then certain domain registrars register the domain names for themselves and then they resell it at a higher price than its actual price, so it is better to register an available domain name as quick as possible, also lot of people register good domain names available and then they too resell it at a higher price.
