Whois.sc no longer exists

I’m a big fan of the SEO Firefox extension called SEOpen. It’s a great tool to check many SEO related information with only one right-click with your mouse. While I was checking a Whois record for a site with this extension, I noticed that the famous whois.sc‘s website doesn’t exist anymore.

It has been replaced by a site called DomainTools.com, owned by the same people from the original whois.sc, but the site now provides more tools related to domain names.

From DomainTools’s site:

Whois’ was a great name for a site but we are now broadening our focus.
We are now a little more tool focused and a lot more domain focused.
Our name change comes from a desire to let you, our visitors,
understand what we do and to more effectively communicate that ‘Domain
Tools’ is a place for every type of diagnostic widget related to domain
names.

While I appreciate the decision to broaden their focus, I find it kind of sad that you know have to register to use their tools, even for the Whois one. I registered today but haven’t received a confirmation email yet…

    hi nadir,

    just stopped by seoprinciple to see how you are doing and say hi. it was nice to chat with you at rand’s online chat thing a while back. just got a new id at http://www.cre8asiteforums.com and am making the rounds to catch up with the happenings after a busy first half of the month. see you around.

    i will have to try out seopen, i have not used that one. i was a fan also of whois.sc and looks like they are really working on their new site and tool offerings. the reverseip search is one of my favorite tools.

    see you around,
    chris
