- About SmartWhois
- ================
- SmartWhois is a useful network information utility that
- allows you to find out all available information about
- an IP address, host name, or domain, including country,
- state or province, city, name of the network provider,
- administrator and technical support contact information.
-
- Unlike standard Whois utilities, SmartWhois can find the
- information about a computer located in any part of the
- world, intelligently querying the right database and
- delivering all the related records within a few seconds.
- The program can retrieve information from more than 20
- servers all over the world.
-
- SmartWhois can save obtained information to an archive
- file. Users can load this archive the next time the
- program is launched and add more information to it. This
- feature allows you to build and maintain your own database
- of IP addresses and host names. You can also load a list
- of IP addresses as a text file and have SmartWhois process
- the whole list.
-
- SmartWhois is capable of caching query results, which
- reduces the time needed to query an address; if the
- information is in the cache file it is immediately displayed
- and no connections to the whois servers are required.
