Check domain availability in a safe way

06 Dec

Many domain whois checker sites log the domain names and sell it to the 3rd parties.

So the safest way to check the domain name availability, is doing it from your computer! No logging, no need to be paranoid :)

For Windows:

Open Command Prompt Run nslookup -type=ns domain.com, if it lists the nameservers, domain is not available

For Linux, *BSD or Mac OS X:

Just run whois domain.com

How to list Google’s search results 100 per page

30 Sep

Sometimes you may want to see all Google’s search results 10 pages in one page, instead of to click Next button 9 times!

 

 

Let’s search “Mehmet Susakli” on Google

This is normal search, 10 records per page;

http://www.google.com/search?q=Mehmet+Susakli&hl=en&source=hp&gs_sm=e

To list 100 results in one page just add “&num=100” to the link above. So new URL is;

http://www.google.com/search?q=Mehmet+Susakli&hl=en&source=hp&gs_sm=e&num=100

If you try a number bigger than 100, it will list 100 records. Google is not such stupid to list 1 billion results in one page :)
