Cheshire, United Kingdom (April 23, 2010) - SearchEngineOptimization.co.uk, a leading SEO firm based in the North West of England, have launched a new tool to help users find out more information about any given domain.

SearchEngineOptimization.co.uk's Whois Lookup is a free SEO tool, which can show if a domain has already been registered, the history of a domain name, who it is currently registered to and more. By typing a domain name into Whois Lookup, a plethora of information regarding the domain will appear such as who has registered it, whether it was registered by a company or organisation, their address and contact details, the registrar (host), the date it was registered/renewed/last updated and its current status, including whether it is active or suspended.

Search engine optimization tools such as Whois are especially useful for those looking to start up their own business. Someone may have difficulty in registering a domain, and by entering into Whois they can get clear details on who owns it and whether it is regularly updated. If it has been inactive for a while, they may be able to launch a bid to buy it and make it their own.

"This is just one of the many SEO services we can offer to our clients who are looking to start up an online business and need to get a relevant domain name to proceed," commented a spokesperson for SearchEngineOptimization.co.uk. "Factors such as domain age, and what a domain has been used for in the past, can have an impact on your search engine optimisation campaign, so it always makes sense to check out a domain before you buy, and our tool provides all sorts of useful infomation."
