Ninja-like Domain Name Search

Oct/12 in Online Apps

Fast Domain Name Search How would you like to search for domain names as fast as a ninja does?  Now, sure I don’t know many ninjas that spend a lot of time doing domain name searches, but that isn’t the point.  The point is Ajaxdom has a cool tag line for a domain name lookup too, and I’m going to take advantage of it.

Claiming to be the world’s fastest domain name lookup tool is a pretty big claim to make. I do have to say though, that Ajaxdom is pretty darn fast.  How fast?  Well, you didn’t just see that ninja jump down, make bunny ears behind your head and disappear in a puff of smoke, did you?  It is that fast.

You can search for .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .name, .us, .ca, or .uk domain names.  Here is an example of what the results look like:

Search for Different Domain Extensions

Damn, my plan to grab Mitch.something is always foiled!  There goes my birthday present (you know it is only five days away, right?)  Shameless birthday mentions aside, Ajaxdom is a fast domain name search lookup that might be well worth your time if your in a hurry to find that perfect domain name to use on your next big web site project.

Another Domain Information Tool

Jul/02 in Online Apps

Get more info on any domain name out there.

Looking for a way to get an entire social web site profile of your domain name via one simple online tool?  Buildstats is another domain information tool that does just that.  All you do is insert your domain name, and then you will be taken to a page with tons of information about that previously entered domain name. 

Some of the details you get per domain include:

  • Number of pages indexed via the various search engines
  • Page information
  • Your rank via Pagerank, Technorati, QuantCast and more
  • Social popularity and graphs

Here is the example search I came up with for mitchelaneous.com:

It is a simple web site, that does it’s job well.  Check out Buildstats.com to lookup information on your own domain name of choice.

It has plenty to love, but would like to see even more tools avaliable.  Right now DomainTools is still my favorite domain lookup tool.  So if your looking for another way to do a little more research about a favorite domain, give abouthisite.com a shot.

14 Guru Networking Tools

Jan/27 in Popular Posts, Web Hosting

Here are some of the best networking tools on the Web these days:

  1. Network-Tools.com – Ugly interface but a little something for every network tool loving freak.
  2. Pingdom Tools – The best looking set of network tools, ping, traceroute and page loading tools included.
  3. DNS Goodies – Lots of goodies here to love from whois, ip check, ping and more.
  4. Traceroute.org – Need to do a traceroute from more than one location? The interface is horrible but the info is handy.
  5. DNS Stuff – Another list of your generic domain name tools. Also has a paid service for more perks and choices.
  6. My Nameserver – Tons of DNS related lookup tools here. Also good to look up abuse, domain name worth and more.
  7. DNS Tools – Ping, traceroute, whois and more. I really like the fact you can “search for all” here too.
  8. DomainTools.com – Probably my all time favorite, DomainTools.com has everything you could want under the sun.
  9. Ajax DNS – Look up your DNS info in a crazy cool ajax powered interface. Not just eye candy here though, good all around resource.
  10. IP Tools – Another “we do everything” network tool web site. Dozens of search boxes with dozens of tools.
  11. Internet Tools – A handful of Internet query tools so you can do quick searches for things such as various whois searches.
  12. Ajax DNS Bench – Drop and give me 20! 6 ajax powered DNS tools here to pick from.
  13. My IP Neighbors – Now you can use this site to do a reverse DNS search to find out who else is on your server.
  14. Who is Hosting This – Find out the host or server that a domain name is using. Quick and effective (for nosey people only).

Now I wouldn’t recommend trying to use all of these, as many of them preform the same functions. Find the ones that work best for you, and next time you need to do a ping, traceroute or whois search you should be more than ready for the job.

Is Your Domain Registration Really Anonymous?

Nov/01 in Hot Web Topics

Stealing WhoIs InfoIt is pretty easy to get private domain name protection on your domain name through your domain name register. This way you can hide your personal contact information from the public. One really haunting trend though I have seen on a lot of web sites is copying the whois information on domains to display on other web sites.

One service that does this is AboutUs.org.

I found out about this the other day by using DomainTools.com to do a whois lookup. I was checking to see if a domain name my friend registered was privatized and it was in the who is search but About Us still had the information listed. How sneaky!

Another offender is Alexa.com. I really hope this does not become a trend. The whois domain name search is already a big enough problem as it is – we don’t need even more places to check to make sure our private domain name information isn’t being shared with the public at large.

Who Owns Dig.com and Diggg.com?

May/24 in Hot Web Topics

DigggCall it curiosity or call it boredom.

If I owned my own cable news network, I could call it an investigation. When you tell somebody who doesn’t know about tech and Web-like things – you tell them to check out “digg” on the Web – they are going to first try “dig.com”. They aren’t going to find what they want though. Dig.com goes to a Disney Web site.

Diggg.com is also registered, although it does not go anywhere. It is owned by some guy in Norway? You can go look at the whois domain name information for yourself.

How about digggg.com? It is taken.

Work fast though, Diggggg.com is free for registration from what I could find.
