iWHOIS BROWSER BUTTON (BOOKMARKLET)


Ever been reading a webpage, noticed a particular word or phrase, and wondered if the corresponding .com domain is available to register? Or wanted to verify ownership of the website you're currently viewing?

We've created a handy browser button (more correctly known as a bookmarklet) to enable you to obtain such whois data on the fly. It works in all modern browsers: Internet Explorer 7, Opera 9, Mozilla, Firefox etc.


TESTIMONIALS:
  • "Neat bookmarklet! Great idea." - Ian Andrew, DotCom Agency

  • "The ultimate whois bookmarklet" - Frank Michlick, DomainNameNews.com


HOW TO INSTALL:

 To install the bookmarklet, just drag the 'iWhois' link below onto your browser's Links or Bookmarks toolbar.

Bookmarklet link: iWhois


HOW TO USE:
  • Highlight a word (eg. amazon), phrase (eg. man's best friend) or domain name (eg. templates.net) on a webpage and click the button. A new tab or window will open to show you the corresponding whois data. The default extension is .com, but once you arrive at iWhois.com you can easily check other extensions. And don't worry if you accidentally highlight some extra characters such as apostrophes, leading or trailing spaces, commas etc. Most such characters are simply ignored.

  • If you don't highlight any text before clicking, you will be shown the whois data for the website you are currently viewing (currently works for sites at .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .ca and .us addresses).

HOW TO REMOVE:

 If you ever want to remove the bookmarklet from your browser, just right-click on it and select Delete.
