Default WHOIS Lookup

Not sure if this is the right place for this, feel free to move if it isn't

I found this useful set of tools for whois and DNS lookups, you may find useful

Hi, i tried typing in dropshipoilpaintings.com into one of the suggested domian lookups, i used domaintools.com, but i don't really understand the information being displayed.

If anyone could breifly explain what to look for in the information and how you know if the company is legit , i would appreciate it.

Just an FYI.

WHOIS information can easily be faked and is not a reliable way to verify a company identify.

I'm not going to explain how it can be faked, but it doesnt need a rocket scientist to work that out.
