HotWhoIs is a convenient and easy-to-use application for sending queries on IP addresses and domain names to whois servers and examining the results.

Using HotWhoIs, you can obtain all available information related to a given IP address or domain name.

You can retrieve information about the organization or the internet service provider (ISP) that owns the IP address, including information about the country, state, city, address, contact phone numbers and e-mail addresses.

HotWhoIs supports the new data format used by arin.net and forwards queries on the Latin America IP addresses to the lanic.net server.

HotWhoIs uses 88 whois servers all around the world to obtain information on 120 domain zones. The program can also query whois servers with plain web POST requests and display the results in the regular format.

Currently, such requests can be performed for Argentinean (.ar) and Spanish (.es) domain names. Moreover, the program in most cases can determine the name and version of the remote web server. It can also ping remote hosts so you can check its availability.

The utility also supports SOCKS 4 and 5 proxy servers and can perform whois requests from a network connected to Internet via these kinds of proxies.

Features:

· Easy Network IP Whois Lookup and Domain Whois Lookup on 120 domain zones for selected hosts.
· Ability to perform WHOIS query via web interface if the registrar who supports the particular domain hasn't a WHOIS server.
· Support for SOCKS 4 and 5 proxy servers.
· Ability to determine name and version of the remote web server.

· Tight integration with Internet Explorer 5.0 and above. Pressing the HotWhois button in the Internet Explorer toolbar starts the program and runs a WHOIS Lookup to the current address (the one displayed in the Internet Explorer address bar).
· Printing the lookup results, copying them to the clipboard or saving as a file.
· Multilingual interface. Now supported English, French, German, Russian, Catalan.
