Whois.sc is changing

[ashokuh]

Now whois.sc is changing it name to domaintools.com.
Whois Source is becoming Domain Tools

 

[duskdawn]

Nice to know.
If you listened the last NP Radio, there's a section all about this transition and future domaintools.com

 

[movingconcierge]

by changing, do you mean changing names or the gui is changing?

I was sort of hoping they would keep both around. DomainTools, from what I've seen, isn't as streamlined as Whois.sc is...

The name is better, though.

i think more of the functionalities will be highlighted here as they are aligning themselves with dnsstuff and dnsreport nice find, however I will be able to discover this yet this afternoon (our local time) for that's my sched with the site to do the normal whois routine you know.

EDIT: no he doesn't own i wrong


[strikethrough]im pretty sure he owns whois.sc[/strikethrough] :hehe:

 

[weblord]

im sure the whois.sc is going to be another redirect or a parked one

I don't really care as long as my shortcut still works.

I type "wi DOMAIN NAME" in my url bar (no quotes) and it takes me straight to the results. I'll be annoyed if I have to find the bookmark and change it.

They better not screw the site up either - I like whois.sc.....
ah well at least "wi2 DOMAIN NAME" will still work. (whois.net BTW lol)

 

[weblord]

yeah i like doing whois.sc/mydomain.com rather than the new one who knows there are some added functionalities there that are not yet available on dnsstuff and/or dnsreport

whois.sc/domain.com not working ;(

it was one of thew best things in this whois, if they will change this I will look for new whois

 

[Xombie]

Aaah I'm officially switching over to another whois... for.. today. I'll be back. Hope the transition goes well!

whois.sc/domain.com not working ;(

i guess preparation for domain tools so bye bye whois, hello domaintools.

 

[movingconcierge]

I found the whois on domaintools...

http://domain-suggestions.domaintools.com/?q=domain

http://domain-suggestions.domaintools.com/?q=domain

It's not exactly the same, but close enough to delay my search for another whois right now...

 

[onlinebroker]

blah don't like the new interface i want the old one. i think sometimes simple is better.

 

[dnb8]

whois.sc/domain.com working again

 

[AbsolutelyFreeWeb]

actually I think they are doing a huge misstake. whois.sc is known by many and its unique an rare. domaintools? what is that? sounds like one of millions of sites only... it's saddening.

I love whois.sc but I have to admit I canceled my subscription because I couldn't understand why a paying member should be limited to 100 in the bulk search. That was the main thing I used. Once in a blue moon I'd check a history or two. If this changes with the new site someone let me know.

 

[JYM]

I love whois.sc, I can't see why they would change... plus whois.sc is so much shorter to type than domaintools.com.

I also preferred the old whois.sc, the layout was much more simple. But.. I can probably get used to this new layout.

 

[weblord]

i think the transition is final you can still do the whois.sc/domain.ext and redirects to the real one.

The new page isn't even loading for me. I get a blank screen when I try to get results for a domain in IE.
