That's a very dirty little secret. Very underhanded.</p> <p>I only use my own WHOIS lookup for checking domains because I know for fact we don't log them.</p> Thu, 17 May 2001 12:59:36 +0000 Jaiem comment 1082563 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/web-hosting-and-domain-names/tell-me-im-paranoid#comment-1082544 <p>I don't think you are being overly parnoid. I've seen this type of post at the forums I moderate at (3 large web hosting/site dev. forums). It isn't completely out of the question that the script logs your queries, and that someone take a peek through them.</p> <p>However, quite a few domains are registered on a daily basis, and it could just be coincidence. Generally, if you find one you like, it is better to get it while it is still available. As you found out, next time you check, it might not be. <img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/sad.png" title="Sad" alt="Sad" class="smiley-content" /></p> Thu, 17 May 2001 01:12:50 +0000 chicken comment 1082544 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
