is there any place to find all registrar whois servers? i'm writing small program that connect to each whois server and query for newly registered domains that just got dropped they usually get updated on the registrars databsae faster than the registry database.

hate to wait for 24hrs :P

Usually it's whois.registrar.com port 43

Bashar are you going to make this program public? I am interested in it if you are :)

Need any more?

timechange, i know its whois.registrar port 43 but i dont have a list of all registrar names/domains to put them into my program

kohashi, sure its very small i progie that runs on unix might be
able to import it to php to be viewable in public

Toeki, i dont wnat the ccTLD whois servers wanted the gTLDs ones.


kohasi, if you can prepare me the list of all whois servers for accredited registrars i'll give you the script for free :P

Its very easy to find those

i can dig into icann.org but i was thinking if there is a url that has them all listed something like http://www.whois-search.com/deleting/who.php

but this page doesn't have them all :)
