Whats your goto whois site?
I've used http://whois.domaintools.com for years and the captcha they added rather bothersome for checks. I just love that I can just end the url with the url or ip ex: http://whois.domaintools.com/example.com
What easy, clean, and simplistic whois sites are you guys using?
Comments
Well, I use my own, ie: https://hetrixtools.com/whois/example.com
It may not be as fancy as domaintools one, but it gets the job done whenever I need to quickly lookup a domain whois info.
who.is used to be my second goto one, but they filled it up with ads and offers everywhere, so I kind of dropped using it.
https://whois.icann.org/en
then DomainTools.
web based https://www.internic.net/whois.html
from cli : whois domain.tld
sudo apt install whois
https://www.whois.com/whois/example.com
IMO the ads don't bother me as long as they stay on the right side of the site.
Is that information even legal to show after the GDPR thing?
$ whois example.com
$ whois 8.8.8.8
etc...
Just open console and run
whois
, why the hell would I need a third-party "site" for that.I just https://iplookup.flagfox.net/?host=www.lowendtalk.com and do the rest from there. I use flagfox that adds a flag from where the server is located to the address bar.
myip.ms
Because of better visualization/formatting?
who.is
Good ole command line:
Simple and effective for a CLI geek like me
With the sheetlode of new tlds, better keep your whois.conf up-to-date, then.
who.is/whois/domain(dot)com
I was using the same, then I'd google whois when rushing and use bloody GoDaddy. Now that Andrei has mentioned Hetrix, I think I'll be using that for WHOIS from now on.
Had to brush the dirt off this one, but here it is..
https://www.internic.net/whois.html
@huntercop said:
For domains registered by Godaddy, they give full information only via their own page, https://godaddy.com/whois
https://whois.com/whois/yourdomain.com for all others.
I sometimes use whois.com or who.is, both are good.
This is something that boggled me for so long but never really tried finding out the reason for: why do some whois sites show more information than others? Is it a matter of "privileges" with the whois database or is it merely due to webmaster's preference?
For example:
https://www.internic.net/whois.html
vs
https://www.whois.com/whois/lowendtalk.com
In connection to that: which whois site shows the most exhaustive (possible) details for a domain name?
domainbigdata.com/lowendtalk.com
I generally use the console as well, or if on a mobile device, my own site https://viewdns.info/whois/.
Gimme the source code?
whois
command on Linuxthen you can use
whois example.com
I am used to opening a terminal window (usually Terminal on my Mac) and typing the "whois [domain]" command.
Recently things have changed, where I get referrals to another whois server, so the second command is "whois -h [whois-server-dicated-by-previous-results] [domain]".
GoDaddy's whois server doesn't actually respond to the command line, instead pointing you to their browser-based website. What a pain.
@swain I also use the whois from domaintools.com but I use whois.sc to access it.
ex: http://whois.sc/lowendtalk.com
printf "domain.com\n\n" | nc whois.geektools.com 43
I just use whois on my MAC console or on a linux terminal
Gwhois.org/lowendtalk.com
Without ads.
