XL-Whois

XL-Whois is your go-to tool for digging up info about web domains and computers on your network. With so many domains out there, sometimes you need a bit more detail. Luckily, XL-Whois makes it super easy to get that information.

Easy Access Anywhere

You don’t even have to install XL-Whois on your computer! You can carry it around on a thumb drive. This is perfect if you frequently handle Whois requests. When you first start it up, you might see some fields asking where to save databases. Don’t worry; these will get created and updated automatically!

Quick and Simple Input

Once the app sets up its default files, you're ready to roll with Whois requests. Here’s the cool part: inputting data is much faster because XL-Whois uses your clipboard as the main source of info. Just have the main window open and copy what you need, and boom—you're set!

What You Can Do with XL-Whois

You can perform domain whois lookups, check network whois info, and even dive into DNS records. It automatically detects registries or lets you configure them manually from sources like ARIN, LACNIC, RIPE, AFRINIC, and APNIC. Plus, if it finds an entry that’s already in your database, you get to choose how it handles that.

Your Own Database Viewer

Another awesome feature of XL-Whois is its built-in database viewer for all the data you've gathered. Just make sure your data is saved in a TXT file (similar to the HOSTS file on your computer). You can load databases and clear out duplicates whenever you want—just give it permission! At the end of each session, you'll get a report displayed right in your default web browser.

A Solid Choice for Data Lookup

All in all, XL-Whois offers a great mix of features for DNS, domain lookups, and network tasks. It pulls together data from various sources and organizes everything into neat databases. Definitely worth checking out! If you're interested in downloading this handy tool for yourself, click here!
