Know Who’s Who with WhoisThisDomain
November 27th, 2007
There are times when knowledge of a domain’s specifics can be an advantage. However, the old method of running a WHOIS query is cumbersome, requiring a command line interface. Now, there are applications that perform the WHOIS query easily, and one of those is the WhoisThisDomain.
WhoisThisDomain is a freeware application that simplifies WHOIS queries. Just enter the domain’s URL and information about the domain is returned if it’s registered. Depending on the WHOIS server used, it can show the registrant’s name or company, contact information as well as country of origin. It must be noted that different WHOIS servers provide different kinds of information, from giving basic information to detailed ones.
Knowing a domain’s background is also a protection for users against hacks and scams. Suspicious sites can be traced now whether they do come from the real source just by running a WhoisThisDomain check on the given domain. Want to check if a certain domain is already registered? A simple query can tell you easily if the given domain is already taken and who the registrant is. Multiple queries allows you to check multiple sites simultaneously. With WhoisThisDomain, checking information on a given domain is now just a click away.
WhoisThisDomain is compatible with Windows 98/ME/2000/XP.
