names; displays an image of the home page for domain records with websites.
One of the best Internet tool sites, Whois Source, was put under the umbrella of
DomainTools.com. In most ways, it remains the same, but its interface is new
and, I think, even nicer. The biggest and best change is the fact that the site
now queries all top-level domains and not just the usual .com, .net, etc., it had
queried in the past. Unfortunately, many of the tools offered require free
registration (with an email address), but there are still many options available.
Another useful trick that still works is to type [whois.sc/sampledomain.com]
into your browser's address bar to get the Whois records for that domain.
This is a very nice to know tip that doesn't require any special software or script.
Here is a snapshot of DomainTools.com's tools and services, and I have
indicated which tools require registration. The remainder are fundamentally the
same as those at the original site.
