Complete Hostings · 01-24-2005, 01:28 PM

Hey i have just put my whois site up and i am looking for some suggestions and feedback on the system.
I currently havent added any graphics yet but the main part is over could you please check it out and give me some feedback on it maybe even use it instead of your old one?
th url is www.iwhois.biz i will also be looking at getting another url with this one maybe a .com so it will be easier to remember.

Thanks

So, you've installed a free cookie-cutter whois script on your domain. Good for you...

And? I don't mean to burst your bubble, but what makes your "site" special?

this is not a free cookie cutter script actually i dont even know what that is also i am making this post to get some suggestions on how to make the site special.

well i like it its nice and simple

Complete Hostings · 01-24-2005, 02:28 PM

thanks i will be adding some design to it in the next few days

dc1pop · 01-24-2005, 02:41 PM

only thin i could suggest is make the whois data pop up box a tad larger looks a bit squashed

Complete Hostings · 01-24-2005, 02:55 PM

you can hit the in larger button which makes it full size

IdahoFarmer · 01-24-2005, 09:01 PM

You're correct, users can manually expand the size. However, why make them? I'd expand both the window AND the table inside the window to optimize the allocation of space. Also, I'd consider NOT doing it in a pop-up, but in the same window.

Just food for thought!

It doesn't seem to work.

okay will look into applying that into it thanks.

I like Whois sites like yours (without images)

Makes life easier for us 56K Users who have to wait a while for graphics, etc to load on other Domain Reg sites

Thanks

EricH · 01-25-2005, 08:40 AM

Why do you have it so that (I) click "search" and then still have to click details? Why not click search and just have the details open in the same window (another page, but same window) below another search bar? This way, I'm still in your site, I can still do another search, my pop-up blocker won't block the new window, and I get the information with one click.

Just a thought.

Complete Hostings · 01-25-2005, 01:54 PM

yeah i will try and fix that for you also for 56k i might have a seperate link where it will go to that kind of whois and for people with cable can use the one with graphics

Wait, so, you know for sure it's not a "free cookie cutter script", but you don't actually know what one is? Well, that makes a whole lot of sense! [ << sarcasm]

Instead of having to click on the WHOIS details, you should make the results appear on the same page. What does this WHOIS website offer that other websites don't? IMHO, there would be no use for this unless you add some useful features to it. Ex. Whois.sc has reverse-ip, bulk-checker, history, etc.

dan_Vt · 01-27-2005, 01:47 PM

I agree that it's nice not to have to type in a number.

And I would also adjust the pop up window. There's no need for it to be so narrow.

Filtered · 01-27-2005, 11:08 PM

I would not go crazy with graphics..Look at sites like google and freewho.com. Simple, easy to navigate and not a bunch of ads. Keep it simple. Maybe add some industry news and some links to likeminded sites..

Complete Hostings · 01-29-2005, 09:38 PM

okay all things taking into account ill update it this week thanks

Why are some of you bashing him, all he wants if feedback on the site, things to make it better, asking the customer what they like. And some of you came in here and gave rude remarks. NOT cool.

I like it. Simple. Maybe add a small header, and thats it, something simple and fast loaded. And for the 56k users, add a preloader for it. Keep it up man. It will come together.
