I built PlusWhois because I was frustrated with how raw and hard to read most whois tools are. They give you plain json data.

Try it here - https://pluswhois.com/whois/ycombinator.com

I build this whois site to make it more useful by:

  - structuring domain registry DATE into human readable format
  - make links clickable, show if a site is live, logos etc
  - adding basic dns and hosting info
  - pulled some metadata to show social links, tech stacks whenever possible.
  - quick toggle and you can also see a basic DNS info.

No need for an account - just type a domain and get a fast overview instantly.
