DomainTools starts offering Domain Report in PDF format for $49

Domain Tools starts offering a Domain Report in PDF format for an introductory price of $49.

Domain Report is simple to use: enter a domain name and Domain Tools will gather nearly everything they know about it into a single downloadable document. With over a decade of ownership and hosting history at their disposal, years of website screenshots, and data from the Name Server Report and the patented Reverse IP Lookup, “everything they know” is a very comprehensive dataset. Whois History plays an essential role in domain transactions and legal proceedings.

Now, all that data is available in a single package, optimized for printing and delivered in a downloadable PDF document.

Domain Report builts the document with formatting, headers, meta text, and professional layout techniques to lend it stand-alone authority and credibility that copy/paste techniques or desktop screenshots never get, especially if you’re supporting your own claims. Pages have neatly formatted Whois history records and website screenshots.

Another great thing about these PDF reports is that they always cost the same regardless of size: the introductory price is just $49 each. This is a version 1.0 product and Domain Tools plans to include more data and more customization options in future updates.

How does this work?

Enter a domain name and they’ll tell you exactly how much current and historical data you’ll get. Reports include all this data:

  • Every Historic Whois record
  • Complete website screenshot history
  • Owner (registrant) name and email address
  • Current Whois record
  • Registration dates and status codes
  • Network name and IP location
  • Reverse IP & Name Server connected domains
  • and more!

If you decide to buy a report, the system will gather the data into a single PDF document that you can download within minutes of your purchase. Get all this on one domain for $79 $49 (special introductory price)—no recurring membership fees required.

NameMedia introduces NameFind.com in association with Afternic

NameMedia, that owns Afternic, launched NameFind.com today, a new website that is a collaborative, one-stop, name generation tool. NameFind is a discovery and acquisition tool that gives entrepreneurs the information they need when they are making one of the most important business decisions: naming their company or brand.

All Afternic domain names that have an assigned price will now be included in search results on NameFind as well, exposing them to a new audience of entrepreneurs and small business owners.

NameFind users can view available domain names alongside trademark information and social media availability, which shortens their research time and gets them to the decision to buy your domain name faster. Users are also able to share their name ideas with their network, putting Afternic domain names in front of even more people.

The NameFind platform anticipates both legal and marketing considerations, showing a matrix of options: domain names (including unregistered, aftermarket and premium variations), available social media handles on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks, and U.S. trademark registrations.

The domain the.org that is in auction at Namejet has some history

The domain the.org is in a private auction at Namejet. The.org was registered in 1995 and is currently with Enom. This is one of those rare domains that could have a million usages.

There are 211 bidders in the auction and the bid is already at $2,550 with 1 day and 8 hours remaining. How much do you think the winning bid would be?

The domain the.org has a quite strange history. Whois history at Domain Tools shows that the domain the.org was owned by a US company until it expired in 2009 (it had a Pending Renewal or Deletion status) and was auctioned off. It was then parked at Sedo where it sold for $9,999 in January 2011. The current auction has no Namejet Reserve so this means that the buyer transfered it from Network Solutions to Enom and didn’t renew the domain. The domain was still showing Sedo LLC as the owner before it expired.

The.com is parked and displays a survey.

The.net is owned by The University of Texas System and has one of the oldest registration dates I have seen: 1988. The domain hosts the Texas Higher Education Network (THEnet) that is a subscriber organization that provides Internet access to education, research and health care institutions in Texas. Their website claims that this network is active since 1986 so it is possible that the.net dropped in 1988 and they registered it again. It was not like someone would grab it in 1988! The.com and the.org weren’t registered until 1997 and 1995 respectively.

All that while en.org is at $17,005 at GoDaddy Auctions with about 5 days left.
