The following queries can be performed on this web-site. Where possible there are cross-links between the various queries. From these pages you are able to lookup:

I have put some more work into the searching and it will now look up a lot more domains than previously. If your results come out with no coloured boxes then it means I don't (yet) know how to parse the raw output, but I probably will soon.

Currently this set of webpages is able to understand the output of over 110 NIC (Network Information Centre) whois servers located around the world. That's over 25 different output formats. More are added each day.

Domain Whois Lookup

This page will attempt to contact the various whois servers that are used by the domain registrars to keep records about who owns a particular domain. The amount of information about the domain is completely dependent on the supplier while the accuracy of it is dependent on whatever the applicant put in.

If the search result for a domain comes back as "not found" then it is likely it is available for you to get. However the logic of the registrar servers is not that clean and I have been known to mis-parse replies so check with a domain name registrar first.

Received Spam from Nigeria? Read this!!

If you recieve email from Nigerian sources proposing either a "legitimate" business deal or one where they have a large sum of money and need assistance getting it out it is extremely likely you have been emailled by fraudsters. Read more on the 419 Coalion Website about this crime and how dangerous it can be to you.

Problems? Suggestions?

I'm always looking for suggestions and new NICs to add to the system. If your favourite NIC is not working here let me know. Or if you have a problem with a particular lookup I'd like to know that too.
