So you’d like to go a step beyond a simple WHOIS search and become a real Domain Detective, good, you should! I play detective several times a day whether I’m looking at buying a domain, looking at a potential deal, or protecting my own brand. I’ve tried every single tool I could imagine and Domain Tools has been my go-to tool for years now, and for good reason, it has everything you could want and a whole lot more.
Today I thought it would be fun to show some of the features that have made me such a big fan of Domain Tools. So watch the video below and in under five minutes you will be ready to be a Domain Detective yourself.
I think their membership pricing is a bit off, a bit too expensive for those who will only do the occasional search. After all, whois searches are free across the web and Godaddy offers 100 domain monitors for $6/a year. I admit, features like reverse IP and hosting history are pretty cool, but for someone who won’t use all of the features regulatory won’t get enough value to justify the monthly cost. Something like $10 or $15/month for the standard plan would get more people to signup.
