hello all,
can anyone tell me the whois server for .org?
shoudn't the server be:whois.publicinterestregistry.net ??
If i use that server with my script it shows me the domain free but domain is registerd.. doing the whois with domainwhitepages . com (that use the same whois server) it show the correct output - not Free -

:rolleyes:
is there any other whois server for .org?

thanks

not anymore :)

.ORG has moved to seperated registry called public interest registry (www.pir.org)

do not ask networksolutions for .org domains you will get very wrong results

Check what your whois script uses to determine an available domain e.g. the words NOT FOUND are not being displayed in the .org whois already

I use words NOT FOUND for that and it seems to work...

Do a whois on : dotregistrar.com

And you will see in the text :

"The fact that your query returns "NOT FOUND" does not necessarily mean that
the domain may be available for registration. To search all domains, please
go to the shared registry whois located at:
http://www.internic.net/whois.html"

and dotregistrar.com will show as available on your script.

NO MATCH is another problem

Dotster is also another register with a problem

Thats why you can't have flag as available anymore because you have got no text to match to
