Help ! to much traffic

[Whois-Search]

Basically I have to much traffic on whois-search.com

So I need to make some decisions.......

I have limited the number of searches to 100 per ip already

This is a fine balance else my ip could get banned at Netsol.

From Today Deleted Domains will no longer available on my site because :

If someone has a big UK dedicated server I can use that has multiple ip's - please let me know.

Else I will have to restrict whois-search.com even more or even charge people to use it - which I doubt they will LOL

I think I've got a couple of links to your search. I'll take them off as I don't think you'll get any money from them. They probably won't have generated much traffic though.

No, Please keep the link on your sites

I'm working on a better ip limiter

And possible link that will download a deleted.txt file ......... that can only be download once PER ip in 24 hours

that sucks man
let us know what happens
also - would you b interested in a link swap with www.manual-submit.com as they are a little similiar in that they are both one page references

Someone probably has a script running to check that page so they're notified when its updated. Then they can scan the names before most others.

I live by the list
