whois de Domain, Use whois For .DE Domains
Recently I wrote an article about using dig and whois on Windows 7. If you want to review the previous article click here. A question recently came up about how to whois .de domains. For each TLD or Top Level Domain such as .de, .co.uk, .mil, .ru, etc. you will need to use a different whois server. Below there is information about attempting to run whois against google.de without specifying a different whois server followed by information using the proper whois server.
