DomainTools is a leading provider of Whois and other related lookup services.[1] Alexa ranks DomainTools' traffic as one of the top 150 sites for U.S. visitors, top 100 for Indian users, and in the top 200 sites for global internet traffic.[2]

They are regularly involved in domainer events and policy meetings, such as ICANN meetings, the Domain Roundtable, DomainFest, and others.[3][4]

Services

DomainTools offers a myriad of services related to Whois searches and DNS lookup; These include:

  • Whois and Reverse Whois services
  • Whois History
  • Screenshot History
  • Hosting History
  • Reverse IP (patented)
  • Name Server Reports[5]

While DomainTools does offer certain free services, they also sell two different memberships to those who need complete and unlimited access to their search engines, databases, and professional services.[6]

They sometimes highlight their services through the use of specific domains, such as DailyChanges.com and Screenshots.com. Screenshots.com was more recently launched, in December, 2011, and features historic screenshots of a given domain. While this type of service is offered elsewhere, DomainTools' version has received great reviews as it is more frequently updated, quicker, and features an entire screenshot.[7]

Growth

DomainTools was acquired by Thought Convergence in 2008,[8] and became an independently held company in 2009; they have recently increased their workforce, redesigned their website, strengthened their Alexa rating, designed and moved into a new office space, and invested heavily in new infrastructure and technical improvements.[9]
