How to Code Whois Lookup in Python
With Python you can code a script to conduct a WHOIS lookup on any domain name or IP address. The results will display when you run the program. The WHOIS lookup can tell the owner of the domain that you look up. You can also get other information, including contact details, DNS servers and registrar details.
