Use malcolmx to check for domain names from the command line
- jawngee 16y agoGreat tool, unfortunate name. Very unfortunate.
- gojomo 16y agoAnd coming soon... mlkjr - referrer analysis and backlink checker cesarchavez - robots.txt validator trickydicknixon - duplicate URL analysis and advice Because what better way to honor historical figures than associate them with mundane, unrelated webmaster tools?
- minhajuddin 16y agoWell, I am trying to make the name known to people who don't know him. It doesn't matter if it's an ordinary tool, Even if 1 guy finds out about MalcolmX through this tool, I'll be a happy man.
- minhajuddin 16y agoCould you please elaborate? I honestly want to change the name if there is a good reason. My reason(https://github.com/minhajuddin/malcolmx/#readme https://github.com/minhajuddin/malcolmx/#readme): Why the name? You might be wondering, why I have named this tool MalcolmX. The reason is very simple, MalcolmX was one of the greatest human rights activists. I greatly admire him, and this is a small way to make his name known, to people who don't know him. If you liked using this tool, please take a look at his wikipedia page.
- trustfundbaby 16y agoLove that name.
- jluxenberg 16y agoWhat's wrong w/ whois(1)?
- semanticist 16y agoParsing the output of whois is tedious, especially if you're using more registrars than just .com/net/org. Every ccTLD spits out something different. I've been wanting a tool to automate parsing them for ages - but sadly this isn't it, since it only just com/net/org. Maybe I'll have to write something that parses whois myself!
- acangiano 16y agoName aside, this is generally cool. Instant Domain Search however is not reliable. Example: successblogger.com shows up as available, when it's not.
- acangiano 16y agoI should mention that they explain why this is the case: http://instantdomainsearch.com/faq/#falsepositive http://instantdomainsearch.com/faq/#falsepositive
