Ajax based DNS query service

Posted by Vivek Gite [Last updated: December 14, 2006]

As a hard core UNIX user, I prefer to use command line DNS tools such as
=> dig
=> nslookup
=> host
=> whois
=> telnet
=> ping and other utilities

Check out ajaxdns.com, it offers:
=> Live DNS
=> Whois search
=> IP Whois
=> RBL search and more

It has simple and clean GUI :) Good for new users!
