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

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]

DomainTools was acquired by Name Intelligence in 2008,[7] 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.[8]
