DomainTools.com is the famous website whois.sc with a new name and a lot of added domain searching functionality. Where whois.sc tracked domain ownership, the mission of Domain Tools is to provide all the tools you Domain Tools is still the number one domain registration information site online. However, they now also offer both an easier to remember name, and a much better website. Their new website design allows you to find all of their tools via a new header on each of their pages. This allows you to navigate to any tool they offer from any page. No getting lost or not being able to find what you are looking for.
The whois function of Domain Tools no longer simply returns you information on the domain registration but also allows for wildcard searches, partial word searches, the ability to search an IP address, a suggestion tool to help you name your domain, a search for domains for sale, and a search for domains being sold at auction.

Very Poor and Very Intrusive
Domaintools.com publish private data from the WHOIS register or sell it - which is in breach of the UK Nominet terms of use - and cache historical records including peoples names and addresses and sell those on in "reports" to make a quick profit. They operate purely due to a lag in the law to catch up with modern technology regarding privacy. Not in the spirit of the Internet.
Amazing Site!
This site is by far the most complete site for looking up whois information on any domain. Not only is the current information accurate and complete, but they maintain historical data which no one else I've found does.

Copyright
Websites that our hosted outside the USA do have their own copyright laws. Which Domaintools believe that they copy website content. They stated that they can do this because of Kelly v.

However this will mean that these are only for USA websites and not other websites that our outside the states. When told to remove the copied data, domaintools.com said that if a webmaster or owner wants to get in touch with them to remove the data, they require a lawer to contact their legal department. But why should webmasters and owners waste time and money to get domaintools.com to remove the copied data.
