WHOIS.SC becoming DomainTools.com

[GeorgeK]

WHOIS.SC is turning into www.domaintools.com -- the new interface looks great.

K.I.S.S.

I like the old one.

I liked the old onje also :>(

New one sucks imo, Old one is way better..Big Mistake, Im sure they will lose a lot of traffic, even with redirects, They are moving from a cool name and ease of lookup eg whois.sc/google.com

Well "Domain Tools" accurately describes the service they provide and its a dot com.

Personally, I never understood why they opted for a .sc extension so I think this domain change is for the best.

finally in the right ext

The new interface looks good.
I agree .com is better...

But it looks like domain monitoring now requires silver membership :emba:

 

[mike031]

looks good. it'll take time to get used to though.... but that's alright

 

[SouthernTn]

I like it

Domain Monitor will remain free, it will not require a Silver Membership. Look for that change in the next two weeks.

I is a super duper paid up member of the whois.sc secret society and I won't remember the domain tools name. Don't care about the .com myself, and I'll continue to head over via the .sc

 

[MrDude]

whois source is what it means in my mind, whois.s(our)c(e)/domain.com which is way easier to remember than something like domaintools.com/whois/domain.com or alike

Good to know about the change.

I fear change because I am used the old whois .sc.
I am glad to hear domain monitoring is still going to be FREE.

I felt the old setup was great and didn't need the "update"
but I will embrace the change (they are going to do it anyhow)
and hope to find the change a worth wild verture for them and for ME and all of us.

Thanks for the early heads-up

I agree! Nice point.

 

[cooljeba]

looks much better.
They could have the new layout in who.is itself.

Got so used to it.

i am sure whois.sc will still remain functional, as-is... no?

 

[Dave Zan]

I'm actually able to log inside both sites using the same email addy and pw.
Site's not bad, keep it up!

 

[Domagon]

Another aspect, though admittedly a small detail, is that the new site is on a .COM domain.

Many people promoting ccTLDs and other non-.COMs use whois.sc as an example of a popular site not in .COM ... well not anymore ... it's now a .COM too.

The more things change, the more they remain the same ... .COM remains as popular and important as ever for branding / promotional purposes.

I think it was them who offered me $65 000 for DomainData.com
Not sure tho.
