Hi

I would like to put a "whois" search box on my website. Is this possible? Like all whois searches I do are related to whatever companies site I am on.

Is there a main source where this search goes to?

Lets call this "whoisfordummies"

PM me with price or any help.

Thanks, Greatly appreciated

Thanks Iridium, good site.
I see that the search ends up on Bill's site. Which it should. What I would like is that the search would end up on a page with my various information, adsense ads & stuff like that. I imagine this is obtainable some how?

My definition of the learning curve on this 'puter is a simply a world of brick walls, which you run into with every new idea or project. But I love it

Gary,

The demo is on his site so the search ends there, but if you install this script on your own hosting, everthing stays on your site and you can pretty much customize everyting (just like on Bill's page theres an adsense ad below, etc).
I've been using this script on my server for ages as its the best web-based whois and you dont risk the searches being snooped by some 3rd party on a public whois.
