Blocked in Saudi: Domain Tools’ WHOIS (update: unblocked!)

December 30, 2009  |  Saudi Internet

Domain Tools (not blocked) is an online tool for webmasters. Their WHOIS service (formally known as whois.sc) is now blocked. The blocked URL is:

whois.domaintools.com

WHOIS is a harmless protocol used to look-up domain names, etc. There is no reason what so ever for having it blocked. Read more about WHOIS on Wikipedia.

To help getting it unblocked as soon as possible fill the form at internet.gov.sa, write an email to unblock@internet.gov.sa or send a fax to +966(1)2639290.

  1. Who the hell is in charge?

    I can’t believe this, this is just idiotic. Anyway, I just sent an unblock request form, maybe someone intelligent might read it.

  3. They blocked it because it gives thumbnails images to whatever site you enter. Thats why.

  4. Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any help is very much appreciated.
