FindName

Every website you visit has a whole range of data sets regarding its domain, administrators, and more. These details might be of interest to you, whether to get in touch with particular individuals, or keep an eye on your own domain. Regardless of the case, specialized applications like FindName can easily retrieve domain details for you.

With no setup involved in the operation, you can see what the application is all about from the moment download is done. As such, it’s the right portable tool to use on different computers directly from a thumb drive, without affecting stability of the target PC, because registry entries remain intact. Note, however, that .NET Framework is a mandatory requirement.

There’s nothing to make it stand out from the crowd, at least as far as the visual design is concerned. This doesn’t make it less intuitive though, with a well-organized structure managing to display the list of applicable filters, the list of detected items, as well as a details column regarding the selected domain.

The configuration panel needs to be filled in with initial values for the scan to be valid. However, this can only take up a couple of seconds, if you simply decide to fill up the URL field. You can choose particular domain extensions with a simple click, and even add different ones to narrow down results.

Apart from domain extensions, a different filter field makes it possible to search according to specific parameters, such as characters or typical strings. Needless to say that an active Internet connection is required to retrieve results, while the scan operation doesn’t take a lot of time. You can choose to export gathered details under several log file types.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that FindName is a reliable choice for gathering all necessary info on domains of interest. Setup is easily done, with different filters to include, delivering requested info at the press of a button, with options to save to file.
