Well it's kinda obvious IMO.. think of this.. why would anyone offer up a free service such as that and not ask money for it? Do you think people here set up porn sites just for fun?

Any sort of serious site like that that offers a quality service that is free, is going to have some reason behind it. Sure they are making some money on advertisers and so on.

However I've always thought the main reason behind a site like that is for R&D. Would be so easy to set up back end archiving to collect a database on unregestered domains on expiring domains and so on.

Not to mention the mailing lists.

I use whois.sc all the time but I never search for new domains on it.

That's the same reason I never use those free SEO tools you find everywhere.
