I finished a quick app for the iPhone that allows you to do a whois lookup on a domain to see if it’s available or not. I’m always out and about and think of a domain name, and want to know if it’s taken.
Why don’t you just use whois.net or something, you ask? Well first of all that site is packed full of bloat and junk that makes it a pain to look something up. Secondly, I have a sneaking suspicion that sites like whois.net harvest requests and register those domains if no one else does. And no, my app does not record lookups!
I built the app using a small PHP script and IUI. Check out the app at http://whois.onmyiphone.net
