Hey domainers! Just wanted to see if I could get some help getting the word out about http://whois-it.com Fast easy whois service. You can type whois-it.com/yourdomain.com to get whois info on any domain. ALSO - The site has an easy to use link (bottom of the homepage). Just drag and drop it into your FireFox, or Netscape Links section and you can do a WHOIS on any site you are currently looking at. For example, if you are visiting www.georgeboone.com just click the Whois-It link in your browser and it will take you to http://whois-it.com/www.georgeboone.com and give you the whois info. Quick easy way to get whois info right from your browser without typing! So if you're linking to whois info in a forum please use http://whois-it.com/domain.com And of course if there are any features you'd like to see added to the site to make it easier or more useful just let me know Thanks, - George
Neat domain name and neat that you can go directly to the info without first bringing up your home page and then type in domain name to research. Shannon
That's a great site I really like the ability to do a whois for whatever domain I'm on, I've installed the bookmark thing and intent to use it often. Steve
This is a really nice site, I will use this. Wanna sell it? Also, the animated favicon looks cool, if you have Firefox.
Wow... that is cool! Didn't know you could animate a favicon. where is there a tutorial about that? I'd like to know if there are any size and weight restrictions for those type of icons
I have a real fear for "whois" services. I know a lot of people use them to see if a domain name is still available. I do that. And I know some whois services log and report on, the searches made. One or two ("apparently!") are run by people who like to get there first. Imagine using a whois site, finding that that "amazing" domain name is available, and then seeing that it had been snapped up quickly between searching and registering... It happens. I use my registrars whois for most things. If I want info about a domain I use whois.sc. I have a low trust threshold... MCS x
I have suspected the same thing as well. I was watching a domain name for a client. He did not pay for it ontime and his registrar wanted $200 + registration fee for him to register during redemption period. He refused to pay and we bought the dot net version. The domain name was snapped before I had a chance to try to buy. The hilarious thing is it is a person's first and last name and hence not much good to anybody that does not have that name. There are plenty of extensions available in that name. I expect buyer to hold it for a long time or drop it. It is about time for me to check suspected whois for it again. I certainly need for buyer to think it is valuable. Shannon
I found a place to make Free Animated FavIcons: http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/ Looks like it can be 16x16 or 32x32 - The text length is limited to about 30 chrs.
Thanks for all the comments everyone. It got a traffic surge yesterday (other than from this post) so I take it people are actually using it
