question-answered [FOUND] Trying to remember a website where you can do a WHOIS search and it also showed the premium renewal rates on a domain

[dncafe]

Lost the bookmark I had to the site. It wasn't a big registrar, it was a smaller site with a minimal layout

When you do a WHOIS search for a domain, it also shows you the renewal fee, and would show what the price would be on premium renewal domains

The site was based somewhere in Asia, it wasn't on a .COM, it was on an Asian country code domain I think

Was it one of these?

No, I think it was on an Asian country code domain extension and it wasn't a big registry or registrar

There's a ton of those, most are not in English though, so would be hard to nail down without another hint

I think it might have started with an H

I've heard other Americans and english speaking domainers talk about it. The main reason people use it is because it shows what the premium reg fee is if there is one, right at the top of the WHOIS results

This ones probably not what you were looking for but a whois search returned pricing for other extensions with the same word before the dot, but not for the one queried if taken already: https://web-solutions.eu/global-whois.htm

It's not a corporate site or registrar or host

The whois page is very simple, text only, I think its run by an individual.

I did just find a site with the same functionality and layout though. At the top of the results it shows if it's premium, what the reg fee is and what the renewal fee is

tian.hu ? (ccTLD for Hungary)

tian.hu ? (ccTLD for Hungary)

Nice catch.. that actually looks like what was described.

tian.hu ? (ccTLD for Hungary)

Yes! That's the one I was looking for. I don't know why I thought it was Asian.

I knew it was H something, .HU

It comes in handy when you're looking at a lot of one word names in various extensions that often have premiums of varying prices

Thanks
