** via our website, on the homepage
** via our whois server, on whois.dns.be via TCP port 43

Purpose of the whois on our website :
The Whois service is a tool to give internet users the opportunity to :
** check whether your data is correct if you are the registrant of a domain name;
** In the event of problems with a domain, the people in charge are known, and can be contacted;

** Third parties who believe that they have a claim to a domain name can contact the registrant thanks to this data.

Legal notice :
As indicated in the legal notice that the end-user must accept on every query, it is prohibited to use this information for commercial purposes. This measure was taken on security grounds. DNS.be wishes to prevent the Whois database (or particular parts of it) being reconstructed by means of frequent Whois queries.

Such reconstruction may have the consequence that particulars of registrants are suddenly offered on a commercial basis, which is, in the opinion of DNS.be, incompatible with a publicly available Whois function.

Limits on the web whois :
** The user has to fill in the captcha after more than 3 requests
** The contact details of the registrant are displayed in an image instead of plain text.
** Maximum 100 queries per IP address per day

Purpose of the direct whois :
The direct whois server doesn’t show ant personal data to avoid abuse. You can use it to find technical contact persons, the registrar or the nameservers connected to a domain name. Of course, you can also see the status of a domain name.

How do I interrogate the direct whois?
The Whois server can be queried at any time. This can be done on 2 ways :
Whois towards our whois.dns.be on TCP port 43 with a Whois-client. you can find innumerable Whois clients on the internet :

On a Linux/Unix-machine you have a standard Whois-client : whois -h whois.dns.be domainname. for Windows a lot of freeware-versions can be found on the net.

1. Via telnet : You can do a telnet session to our Whois-server : whois.dns.be on TCP port 43:
telnet whois.dns.be 43
Trying 195.22.138.105…
Connected to whois.dns.be.
Escape character is ‘^]’.

When you enter a domain name, you receive the Whois-information on standard output. You can build a script around this.

Limits on the direct whois :
** No registrant information.
** No information about onsite contacts.
** Limited information for technical contact.

** After more than 100 queries per hour per IP address, you receive an error message.
** After more than 200 queries per hour per IP address, your IP will be blocked for 1 hour

You are blocked but you haven’t exceeded the limits?
If you are given an IP address when you login to you provider, the blocking can occur independently of your control :

Possibility 1 : you have been allocated an IP address which has previously been misused to query our Whois server. You can try to make a new connection to the internet, which may mean that you are allocated a new IP address.

(Depending on the specific hardware configuration, you may also be able to use Windows tools (e.g. winipcfg or ipconfig) that allow a new IP address to be requested). If you were the cause of being blocked, please take the limits of our whois requests into account in the future.

Possibility 2 : you are using the ISP’s web proxy server. In that case, it appears to us that all Whois queries are coming from the same IP address, i.e. the address of the web proxy server itself.

Since several users may use such a web proxy server, the chances of being blocked are greater. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to distinguish between users and decide whether or not you have been unfairly blocked.
