GoDaddy Queries WHOIS High

[Grilled]

I'm curious to know how many GoDaddy WHOIS hits do yall consider high?

Most of my GoDaddy domains aren't aged. There aren't many 4Ls and no single dictionary words. Just some Geos, Keywords, and Brandables.

Domains recently regged generally receive more WHOIS hits than others.

Lately, two of my domains have received an exceedingly high amount of WHOIS queries. I suspect bots or something...

how can you find out how many whois queries your domains get?

Go to Manage Domains > More > Export List > Name File > Next > Check WHOIS Searches (Previous / Current) > Next > Select None (It's a small file. Downloading as a GZ take an extra step to extract) > Finish

Wait 30 seconds or so....

Go back to More > Manage Exportable Lists > Download list

List will come as an excel spreadsheet. I recommend adding a filter to make the data sortable.

I also Find and Replace whoiscounts with a black space so I can shorten the number columns and still see which time period it refers to.

I know this oh too well.

This is at max around 40 monthly hits (based off average new reg monthly whois quiries)

I don't get the ones that are 600+.
