whois is over??

[Kev]

It's funny I used to check the domain owner records on networksolutions before buying links to be safe, I went looked up a domain and it has nothing because the domain is not registered through them. So how do you find the domain info now??

It's not new, been a few months and I like it. Over the past years registrars have raked in mega bucks with private registration fees. I still pay for my domains so as not to get spam every day, this is one good move how I see it now. I think we had a thread about this earlier in the year.

There was another thread over this here, it's not a free whois for all countries by all registrars.

A small concession compared to the tariffs we slapped on them

I just checked 2 sites on 2 different registrars and saw the whois for both.

Privacy is becoming more talked about and laws are being placed to prevent others snooping in on information they have no reason to look at, I support this new trend.

I do not think it applies to us in Canada, correct me if I am wrong.
