Whois.sc now Domaintools.com useful for website traders

I’ve been using Whois.sc for ages now, it’s always been a useful reference.  A few days back, the site was down for a bit then came back up as Domaintools.com.  Other than it being a pain to type double the number of letters to get to the site, it’s a great improvement.  There are several things added that make it a useful tool for people investigating a domain or website.

Here’s their report on Sitepoint.com, for example.   There’s a live link to the site, along with a recent screen capture of the home page, which Whois.sc already had.  But, we find down below features such as the meta description and keywords, and Alexa info.  Even better, there’s a link to a report that will show all of the site’s listings in the DMOZ.  I like that feature best.  There’s a similar report for Yahoo! directory listings, which I also like a lot.

We also find information about the server, where the site is hosted, and where the domain is registered.  At the end are all the details you’d expect to find in a standard Whois search.  Who owns the domain.  There are a few other things I haven’t mentioned, that require membership to access.  Altogether, it’s a great resource and I’m certainly updating my bookmark.
