In a previous post, I explained how I installed an IIS web server on my brand new Windows 11 computer. ( https://irthoughts.wordpress.com/2021/12/25/installing-iis-web-server-on-windows-11/ ). Another thing I installed was Whois. The term whois refers to both a protocol and network tool for retrieving domain name registration records ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHOIS ) and intelligence. Whois is free so you don’t need to buy third party solutions or install special software to start whoising domain names that might interest you like government & educational domain names or clients & competitors domain names. You can even whois a Whois server (Good luck with that). Some web hosting companies provide privacy protection services, against Whois queries, for a fee. What is Whois, and why do you want to install it?…
