 > 2) When entering .bit domain that does not exist I get a
 `NameNotFoundError: Name never existed, is expired, or is unconfirmed`
 after while. It turns out, though, that I keep getting those errors even
 though I corrected the domain and it got resolved. There seems to be a lot
 still going on in the background related to the non-existing domain
 (additional requests etc.), which should not happen.

 In fact, even if you never got the `NameNotFoundError` but entered the
 wrong domain once (e.g. due to a typo) but corrected that you'll get a ton
 of `NameNotFoundError`s later one even, though, your corrected domain
 resolved and you see the contents of the website. There should not
 continue requests to that old domain as soon as the new one is entered.
