> Why would they use a competing registrar's whois to lookup domain > info at another registrar?
We are a hosting provider. A courtesy service we offer to our hosting customers is a universal domain name manager. The tool works with any domain name on the planet, whether registered through us or another registrar, and flags potential configuration errors and provides helpful recommendations for making their domain names work with their web hosting accounts. Of course, such a tool requires a universal WHOIS database that can successfully return info for any domain name, regardless of registrar or TLD. That's where Allwhois.com comes in.
