Add the ability to buy a domain, when it's available for purchase

Project Member Reported by lauravar@google.com, Sep 26

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Navigate to laurasbeerreviews.com
2. (Receive a "This site can't be reached" error). See that a website doesn't exist, and after doing some quick research, that the domain is available for purchase. 

What is the expected behavior?
When people have an idea for a website, the first thing they do is type in one (or many) URLs to see if a website already exists. 

If a domain is indeed available for purchase (I realize this would take another lookup) it would be intuitive to add a button that allows the user to buy to domain (or at least start the process) right from the chrome error page. 

I made a hideous mock: https://screenshot.googleplex.com/DgqfBPZUB0K

What went wrong?
it give the user some information about the status of a site/domain, but not enough (in the case where the site doesn't exist and the domain's available for purchase). It's a lot of extra work expected of the user to search domain registrars, etc. 

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 69.0.3497.100  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.13.6

Seriously, this would be awesome. :)
