Best Whois Page?
 

I've had it with allwhois.com, half the time it returns no details or pins the cpu on my machine for some weird reason. I just tried betterwhois.com and it looks pretty good, except for the console.

Which whois is the best?(don't say verisign)

opensrs

or

directnic

I swear by www.allwhois.com

It's part of hostcentric

sam spade is the best of the best.

Easywhois


Jayson

I use
swhois.com

directnic.com
internic.com - who is part of ICANN so has good returns
oznic.com - if USA whois won't connect (Aussie) AWFUL registrars tho

Another that I can't pull up in the mind right now that is in Europe... it handles alllll the international TLD's and is pretty darned good. :)

These are the best, I've found. They tell you where iit was registered then you go to the registrars homepage.

http://www.internic.net/

These aren't bad but getting bogged down now I think.

http://www.netsol.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois

www.alldots.com Gives you results for up to 99 domains at a time or somthing. Don't know if they pul results from all registrars though

verisign :1orglaugh

search on google. i forget the name of the one i use, but im pretty sure cornell made it. its very good and fast as fawk!

I've actually just been going to http://www.internic.net lately... although it appears that when it's with some of these places that you need to go to their site to get all the details. Sucks! I used to do whois.net or netsol.com but now neither works for shit.

what's wrong with betterwhois.com ?

what do you want whois for? if you're looking for available domains, i'd suggest doing it from a unix shell.

edit a file with the list of domains you want to check. then run:

for i in `cat file`
do
host -t ns ${i}. >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
echo $i might be available.
fi
done

then whois only the ones that show up there. mucho faster!

Check this out, does a few cool different look up's
