Domain name registries, DNS and Tools

a) Tools

bulletDNS stuff -- DNS tools, DNS hosting tests, WHOIS, traceroute, ping, and other network and domain name tools.
bulletMy IP Address tool -- fairly accurate even when you are connected via proxy server
bulletDNS Reports -- This site will provide you with a DNS report for your domain. A very large percentage of domains have DNS problems; this site will help you find those problems and fix them. Also, the "Mail Test" tool will help find mail delivery problems for your domain. This site is a sister site to www.DNSstuff.com, which has many other DNS and networking tools.
bullet WhatIsMyIP.com -- is the fastest and easiest way to determine your IP address which is issued by your ISP. Fairly accurate even when you are connected through a proxy server.
bulletAllwhois.com -- a free service provided by MarkMonitor, is the most complete whois service on the internet. It automatically locates the appropriate "whois" database server for a particular domain name, queries that database for information about that domain name, and returns all available data. In addition, a domain name availability check will also be performed, even if a particular domain extension doesn't have a searchable whois database.

b) References

bulletDomain name registries around the world. Search by
bulletThe alphabetical country-name list - The list contains the English country name according to IANAs list, all in alphabetical order.
bulletThe alphabetical ccTLD list - The list contains the two-letter TLDs according to IANAs list, all in alphabetical order.
bulletDomainSearch.com - Search Multiple Domain Names From Around The World!
bulletARIN WHOIS Database Search
bulletARIN’s Whois - searches ARIN’s database to locate information on networks, autonomous system numbers (ASNs), network-related handles, and other related Points of Contact (POCs). This search tool will not provide information relating to domains, military networks (NIPRNET) or networks registered through RIPE NCC or APNIC.
bulletLookup who an IP Address Belongs To - A straight search by IP number will answer with all of the net block records containing that address. Also, this will only tell you who the IP address is assigned to according to ARIN, not necessarily who is using the IP address in question.
bulletHost name to Latitude/Longitude - Converting host names to latitude and longitude comes in handy when you want to plot your WWW accesses on the globe (URL down?)
