Loads for me and just has a "we're shutting down notice", copied below.But, like they say, modern whois knows where to look, no need to use anything else, I think as long as you're not stuck trying to use macOS or something else shipping weird ancient un-updated unix tools.
Matt geektools.com has shut down.We started this service in 1998 as the first smart whois that would automatically query the correct server(s) to get the data you need. A lot has changed since then and it's time to move on. Most modern command line clients on *nix-like systems will select the appropriate whois server. Check your system's man page ("man whois" for those of you who don't know what a man page is). If you prefer to use a browser interface there are many sites that perform the same function and they're easy to find with your favorite search engine.
It's been a good run, and thanks for using this service over the years. - the geektools team On 7/13/23 4:01 PM, Randy Bush wrote:
