Domain name database
Hi there.
Does anyone know of any central database of domain names that can be subscribed to? The reason is that we are creating our own specialist search engine and have been looking for this kind of source without being able to find anything. Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

For queries, there is always whois...

Shasta, thanks for the message. Could you point me in the right direction who to speak to about this? No, we are not spammers - we want to use the database as the strarting point for our crawlers for a business-related search engine we're developing. Thanks for replying

Thanks
Bashar, that's great and answers my question. I'm not interested in the whois information - just in what domains are "live" so that we can have a starting point for our search engine.
Thanks for taking the time to put this
