Using WhoisThisDomain

This utility doesn't require any installation process or additional DLLs. Just put the executable file (WhoisTD.exe) anywhere you like, and run it.

Creating whois-servers.txt

Starting from version 1.20, you can create your own WHOIS servers list to override the default servers defined by WhoisThisDomain.
In order to use this feature, follow the instructions below:

1. Create a file named 'whois-servers.txt' in the same folder of WhoisTD.exe
2. Add the needed servers to the list. Each line should contain the domain extension, a space character, and then the whois server address. For example:

   gov whois.nic.gov
   com rs.internic.net 
   il whois.isoc.org.il
   ir whois.nic.ir
   

3. In the next time that you run WhoisThisDomain, the specified servers will be used instead of the default servers list stored in WhoisThisDomain.

Be aware that WhoisThisDomain only supports WHOIS servers in port 43. It doesn't support Web-based WHOIS requests.

Build Domains List Option

For example, if you want to check abcde, poiuyt, lkjhgf names with .com, .org, .net, .biz extensions, simply type the names list in the first text-box, and the extensions list in the second one. After you click OK, you'll get the list of all possible combinations (abcde.com, abcde.org, abcde.net, and so on...)
