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.

Does this answer your question?
