Best DomainTools.com Alternative??? Paid or Free

[James Jean]

Domaintools.com has been down or having issues far too much for my liking the past 2 months. They're down now as of this post. Now I'm a paid member on their site and really value there service. But for the amount of times that they are down, I need an alternative to use especially when I'm in the middle of some research.

What do you use as an alternative or a primary?

I use Domaintools and rarely have experienced down time but today more than ever when i needed it. Dont really use many others but they sent an email out today regarding that issue.

Wish that were so HOPE but that is not so.

1)Domaintools has the most comprehensive Historic whois there is. Show that to me FREE.
2)Show me where I can get NS history and associated emails.


If someone has a more meaningful post that answers my question.... please post.

These threads led here from google always dead-end unresolved. I'm starting to believe that free or cheap domain history / all domains belonging to an associated email is a myth.
