Registrant Type

[SF]

I used it for the first time in ages, this past weekend. I remember wishing they'd put it at the top of the page instead of at the bottom.

Agreed! - Jay is this possible especially now there will be more of us using the whois on your site.

Thanks
Sean

Am I just being lazy?

An even lazier way is to edit the URL directly, so edit

http://195.66.240.211/cgi-bin/whois.cgi?query=internet.co.uk&x=0&y=0

The laziest way of all is to use a command line whois, as always found on a proper OS. So

whois internet.co.uk

or if you have to

whois -h whois.nic.uk internet.co.uk

Always wondered about internet.co.uk , did it have a previous owner and Nominet 'aquired' it?

No previous owner. It was one of the original 'neutral' third levels, where we allowed fourth level registrations. Not any more. We now use it as our demonstration domain (in documentation etc).

whois internet.co.uk

or if you have to

whois -h whois.nic.uk internet.co.uk

For those who dont have a proper OS just save these two files to your windows directory ie c:/Windows open up a CMD prompt.. START >> RUN >> and type in cmd.

Then use it the same way ie

whois internet.co.uk

or if you have to

whois -h whois.nic.uk internet.co.uk

Only good for .co.uk lookups unless you alter whois.conf.
