Whois search
The whois search is for identifying all the domains owned by an entity. The WHOIS information is available publicly, but Profundis lets you search it instantly using wildcards across multiple fields.
A WHOIS search costs 3 credits and requires a paid plan (Professional or Enterprise), or a Free account with purchased credits. See the dedicated Credits page for how the balance, monthly allocation, and credit packs work.
How to use it?
You can try the WHOIS sample query. For most people, one of the most interesting fields will probably be registrant_organization, e.g. registrant_organization:"*some company name*".
As with all Profundis datasets (DNS, hosts, etc) you can combine the search fields as below.
registrant_organization:"*some company name*" AND nameservers:"*.something.com"
What are the available fields?
