| When we rolled out our new website home page last November, we promised a transformation of our design and User Experience (UX) across our entire site. And we're not settling for superficial design changes, we are rethinking our UX to align with our users' experiences and what they are trying to accomplish with our products. One of the most powerful products DomainTools offers its members is our unique Whois History. Many of you visit Whois History every day - some, many times per day! Walking through 10 years of history of Whois records provides valuable insight for many kinds of investigations, including: - Domain acquisition
- Cybercrime investigation
- Attribution before Whois privacy protection
- Evidence gathering
- Market research
Today, we've made all of that much easier. We've redesigned the Whois History UX to accelerate your research. The new Whois History makes it faster for you to pinpoint significant events in the history of a domain, such as ownership, Whois privacy, and contact information changes.  What's changed? Take a look! - Total layout and UX redesign - This is not mere window dressing! The new look enables you to quickly find dates with changed records, while viewing and navigating the data at the same time.
- Filtering for fast search - Filtering helps you narrow a search to those records that contain a specific bit of information such as a registrant's name, phone number or physical address.
- Whois record changes highlighted - You can now view the specific changes highlighted within the documents themselves. No more hunting back and forth between two records to find the differences!
- Screenshots with Whois records - Links to screenshots were added so you can view homepage changes at the time of the Whois record change.
- Inline Reverse Whois lookups
- Download and Bookmark Whois records
- ...and, importantly, we have not removed any functionality. You'll still be able to accomplish everything you always could - and more!
The new site should be easy to figure out, but if you want to accelerate your ramp to becoming a Whois History Power User all the new features are explained in this help page and video link: Whois History New Features and Navigation guide
