Beware of whois monitoring – use Domain All in one

There are many tools and programs that domainers use in their day to day domain name hunting. One big mistake many make is using online website whois tools. I don’t want to name names, but many whois sites monitor whois queries, and snatch good domain names.
It has happened to me many times. I find a perfect domain name, go to a whois site, type in the domain name and see that it’s available. I go away for cofee, come back in about an hour or so after having decided to purchase the domain name only to find that it has been picked up by someone.
They usually do some domain name tasting with it, they see whether it is getting hits, if not they drop it, however if it is a good domain name, there is no way they will drop it once they have snatched it.
In any case, in order to avoid getting your domain names snatched from under your noses while doing whois queries on various sites, download the Domain All In One tool from DomainState.com. It is located in their tools section and is a brilliant little resource. Not only does it let you do live whois checks on various extensions, but it also does some backlink checking, PR, and overture. And most importantly, a lot of us domainers have used it without ever experiencing a name being snatched from under our noses. I have checked over a 1000 domain names and come back tomorrow to find the domain names still available.
Domain All In One is definitely worth downloading, and it’s only a 388kb application

nice article. i guess if i find a good domain i better snatch it up or risk not being able to get it later.
Indeed, and when loooking for domains make sure you use domain all in one.
I have used it for over a year now… went to sleep after finding a name, woke up and the name was still available to register.
That is not the case when you search on whois websites and registrars.
Yes, registrars sometimes do snatch good domains right from under you.
I registered the Chinese IDN for several generics several years ago, and I
expected to see them in my account, but the registrar said they were ALL awarded
to someone else. Each and every one of these random domains had the same
owner.
I complained, nothing happened. One of those very same domains sold on Sedo
last year for $10,000.
