Active Whois

Active Whois is a simple and straightforward application that you can use to obtain information about an online domain. In a few steps it can help you gather details about its DNS records, owner, IP address and much more.

Active Whois displays a more than comprehensive interface which should be fairly simple to use by just about anyone when it comes to the basics. If you’re a novice user then all you have to do is enter the domain name for which you want to extract the data and then click one button.

In a matter of seconds the application does its job and provides the requested data, intuitively organized in an easy to read list. The displayed content can then be printed or if that’s not the case, then you can simply copy that which you need, save it to Clipboard and then insert it anywhere you want.

Truth be told, there really isn’t anything complicated to Active Whois and its means of obtaining data, not even when you want to interrogate a specific server. All that is required of you is that you specify the server address, set the port number, enter the custom request and then click the ‘Ok’ button.

By default, the application works with over one hundred servers when searching for information but if you know for a fact that one in particular is more trustworthy or delivers a complete set of data, then you are free to use it. If anything, Active Whois provides a very practical solution to investigate domains that seem suspicious.

To wrap it up, if you're looking to gather information for just about any domain that is out there, then you can certainly use Active Whois.
