InterNIC Whois ToolAn InterNIC Whois database query tool will help your customers in selecting a domain name by allowing you to look up common top-level (.com, .net, .org) domains.

The query form and CGI source are presented in two sections below.HTML Source for the Whois query form The HTML source below represents a simple query form.
