Domain whois tools are important, inorder to check the availability of the domain names you are interested in. Sure you can use the whois search at the registrars like Godaddy, Moniker etc. But they start processing your request when you click the search button.
Here are a couple of tools which search instantaneously once you stop typing the domain name. Use them and you will love them.
2. DD whois
I am happy using them as it saves me a click for each search. Please note sometimes they are not very accurate. But still worth a try.
The following are some of the Godaddy coupon code. Make use of them to save some bucks.

$4.99 – For .us New Registration
$2.99 – For .us Bulk Registration
Normally Bulk Registration at Godaddy applies if you buy 5 or more domains. In this case it looks like 6 or more domains. You will have to check it yourselves as i haven’t tried this offer yet. This bulk registration price is automatically set when you add the domains in your cart.
Adding Google Analytics to WordPress based blog or website is pretty easy with the help of this WordPress Pluggin
The following steps will guide you through the process
1. Create a Google Analytics account
Create an account with google for using Google Analytics which is pretty straight forward.
2. Add the website
Inside your google analytics account, add a new profile for one of your website which you are interested in. Now you will end up with a stage where google gives a chunk of code which it asks you to embed in each of your webpage’s code. Don’t worry about it as we have a wordpress plugin which takes care of this. Just note down the google analytics id which will be something like UA-XXXXXXX-X from the code.
3. Install the Google Analytics plugin
Now download the WordPress Pluggin and upload to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
4. Activate the Google Analytics plugin
Login to the admin area(wordpress) of your website and check the list of plugins where you can see the new google analytics plugin which you just uploaded. Activate the plugin and you can see the “Settings” option under this plugin name. Go to settings option and the first setting is “Analytics Account ID” where you will have to enter the google analytics id which you have noted down at the end of step 2. Click “Update Settings” and you are done adding google analytics to your wordpress blog or website.
5. Make sure everything is fine
Just to cross check, go to your google analytics account and check for the “Status” column of this website where you should see the “Status” as “Tracking Installed”.
The above steps are for wordpress 2.8. It should be pretty much the same for other versions as well.
What is Private Domain Registration?
A Private Domain Registration is a service provided for a fee(or free) by most of the domain registrars. Anyone can view the details of a domain’s owner as it is required for registrars to maintain those details according to ICANN rules. One place to view such details is whois.sc. When private domain registration is used, the details like name, address, phone, email etc of the domain’s owner are hidden from public access. Rather than showing the domain’s owner details, the registrar will provide their own contact details for which the registrars may charge a fee. Godaddy provides free private domain registration.
Is Private Domain Registration required?
It really depends on individual basis. The advantage of going for it is that, since your details are hidden, you can avoid spams, unwanted mails, scammers etc.
Can i use Private Domain Registration for all kinds of domains?
It is applicable to the major tlds like .com, .net, .org etc. For some cctlds like .us, .ca, in etc, private domain registration cannot be used as they normally require the owner to satisfy some criteria to own such domains, for which ICANN wants the owner details to be publicly available.
