UK Bulk Checker

I have an on-going Delphi project with a UK Bulk Checker utility - it checks a list of domains and indicates Registered, Suspended, Available etc.. Also reports the registration date and expiry date.
It can load/save lists, append extensions (.co.uk/org.uk/me.uk).
It works via HTTP and has Proxy support and adjustable timeout.
I will be including a PHP script that can be used with the util so you can put it on your server and turn it into a whois proxy!

I will post a link to the latest version if anyone's interested.

 

I can add this function quite easily -- will work on it later...

 

OK here is the latest build (with admin's suggestion of Registrant):

http://www.synergyweb.co.uk/ukbulkcheck.zip

It should be pretty obvious to use -- enter domains in the left hand side and then click go! You can load a list of keywords/domains and save it.
The append checkbox will add .co.uk/org.uk/me.uk to a list of domains.
The proxy checkbox will use a WHOIS HTTP Proxy that you put in the text field (I will include a PHP script in the next build to put on your servers!).
The save above the proxy saves results but it is only in a raw text format c:/temp.txt right now - I will add CSV, HTML and Text options later.

* When the program is searching you will see the little icon below the stop going round.

* You can view full whois details by double clicking on the row of the domain you're interested in.

* The program will show various statuses including Registered, Available, Suspended, Detagged, Query Limit Exceeded, Unknown, Error...

Feedback, suggestions welcomed

 

I'm pleased to announce the the latest build is now available...

It includes the proxy script for use on your web server!
And also a few improvements:

* Now can save available domains in a text file
* Can save all domains in a CSV file
* Counter to show how many domains checked & available

Enjoy!

Coming Soon -- Days to drop for each domain, drop date indicator (shows domains from what day will be dropping today), HTML reports (like AnalogX whois), keyword generator, and more!

 

Here is a screenshot to see what all ya'll guys are missing out on!

 

Excellent tool. Thank you very much!

 

will there be a mac version?

 

Latest build now available- new features:

* Right-click menu, offers Raw Whois & Visit Website functions plus Google and Archive.org links.
* New QuickCheck function will quickly check 1 domain.
* MultiCheck option will check .co.uk org.uk and me.uk variants of a keyword.
* Counters for Suspended & Available domains
* Drop calculator

Sorry, I don't have a Mac.

 

Future features:

* Proxy-List support - perform unlimited searches as long as you have valid Proxy URLs!
* Copy availables to clipboard (for searching in pop checkers etc.)

 

Latest build now up...

New features:

* Copy all availables to clipboard
* Progress indicator (% done)
* Proxy file (proxy.dat) -- put a proxy URL in here and program will fill out the proxy field automatically on stratup. Sample proxy.dat supplied!
* Few fixes & improvements

 

Nice one, it's certainly coming along - Give it a couple more months and I might start using this once you've got all the features sorted.

Please what ever you do with any new features retain the speed of the checker... Its nice and quick!

A few minor asthetic things:

1. Make the app maximisable (I know from experience that this isn't as easy as some people think becasue of layout etc but I'm not a big fan of this feature being disabled)

2. Use colour - when a domain is available highlight it as green and ready to be registered so that the availables stand out from the rest.

3. When you click on a name it doesn't highlight in blue... this would make it easier to read accross a line.

4. What is the mouse icon that appears when you hover over the names on the right?? Not needed in my opinion - It feels like theres something stuck to my mouse!

These are all user issues that will help anyone use your tool. Ive developed software for people before and user experience / ease of use is always important.

Functionality wise I'm sure you've got loads to add so I wont bother with any suggestions, you seem to be getting right on this project and good for you!!

Well done so far, its coming along very nicely!

Latest version now uploaded...

Minor fixes:

* Domain row is highlighted when selected
* Proxy list now allows multiple proxies URLs (enter them 1 per line in the proxy.dat file)

 

timeouts

Is this me, nominet or the tool?

Cheers

ditto - only downloaded it today - am I doing something wrong?

 

looks good, thanks

is there any way of adding multiple keywords with a space imbetween, which your program searches for domains and deletes the spaces?

Also any chance of making it where you can search the list for all .uk at the same time?

Usually Nominet, but there is a Timeout option at the bottom which you can change... If there continues to be a problem, try using the proxy script, as it might be your connection...

I don't have any problems with it on my connection...

 

devolution, did you see my suggestions above??

 

The latest version is now out - Mally there is now an Add box like in DNA so you can select all UK domains and then it will add them to the listbox.

Also, minor fixes...

 

Great tool. Except I get "Limit Exceeded" after a battering of only500 domains. Is there anyway to get around this.

I have just the time function and also tried running it behind IP anonymous software like Ghost Surf 2007, which works well for keywords analyzer.

I am at my wits end to find a suitable domain name whois checking software for .co.uk names. Have tried DRT, Net Promoter and a number of others but they all fail me with large lists and or give inaccurate info.

best I have found is moniker.com bulk online tool but of course the output is limited.

Any suggestions on how to make Devolutions tool work all the time or other bulk checkers??
