DomainTools, the definitive domain WHOIS tool for domain investors, has scheduled some maintenance today, from 10am to 6pm PDT.
While some might think that the exact time frame was randomly selected, it’s in fact based on expert analysis of WHOIS query data.
Analysis of WHOIS queries at DomainTools during the World Cup soccer in Brazil, shows that during the time of big soccer matches, the number of WHOIS queries drops dramatically.
“We wanted to ensure very minimal downtime for our customers, and what better time to do so, than when they are glued to their TVs watching a soccer game in Brazil,” said Tim Helming of DomainTools.
The released graph of WHOIS query activity during the World Cup is a great manifestation of domain data crunching technology, something that DomainTools is known for.
