 What is the whois.cgi and what is is used for?

 
Answer
 
Computer House's servers are pre-configured with a 'whois.cgi' (commonly known as the DNS anonymity script or Whois interface) script in your CGI-BIN. This script is designed to provide your visitors (or potential customers) with a way of checking out domain name information through the our WhoIs gateway without knowing where the domain name is hosted. This allows you to provide domain name lookups without letting anyone (using the Whois script) know your servers are being hosted on Computer House's nameservers (the Whois script filters out the nameserver information on any queried domain name, thereby bringing SOME anonymity to the reseller). A pre-installed WhoIs interface should be located in your '/www/htdocs/' directory as a file named 'whois.htm'.
