How to Check Domain Tools
Domain Tools is a website that can be used to obtain various information about specific domain names. You can use it to find out who owns a domain, when a domain expires, and even how many domains are associated with a certain name or company. Running a basic whois search to find out domain contact information is free; however more advanced reports are available for a fee.
