If you’ve ever registered a domain name, or even considered it, you’re probably discovered what a hassle it is using the web-based interfaces to the old UNIX command, whois. Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a more hip, GUI solution? I thought so, and here it is…

WhoIs ULTRA is a GUI application that goes out on the net and looks up domain registration information. How is this useful? Well, there’s several uses for this particular tool; first and foremost is identifying whether or not a domain has already been registered. WhoIs also will let you enter already registered domains and return the administration/owner contact information, in case you want to contact the people directly.
