Anyone use a whois lookup tool? Which do you use?

[Schmarvin]

I've been using whois.sc a lot for awhile, too. But, it seems there are a few domain registrars that doesn't allow public access to just basic details of the domain, such as GoDaddy. You must go to GoDaddy.com and use their specific tool to view a domain's information, even if it's whois was already private. :/ That's gotten quite annoying when I'm trying to find out abuse emails and contact emails.

Which tools do you use when looking up domain information?

I have a paid account on whois.sc and it's the best that I have used thus-far.

Hm, I've wondered about buying an account, but does it give you access do GoDaddy domains as well?

I use http://whois.domaintools.com/ . It's good for me, don't know if they show you private whois but they have a paid service as well, maybe on paid...

I use the default whois settings in CentOS.

That or I track it down to the domain registrar such as godaddy and use their online tool, trying to obtain the data as close to the source as possible for accuracy.

I use two whois tools

http://domaintools.com/
or
http:///who.is

Both are great.

I always use whois.sc (domaintools) but also use who.is if I want to double check details.

I guess I have to be a premium member on these sites to be able to view GD whois info.
