It hasn’t lost any information from the previous version, but we’ll consider feature requests if it is useful for specific information to be added.

I think this is an excellent solution (to only show the refer when it’s for a subdomain).

Another point I wanted to raise: When I query the whois the “purpose” isn’t shown. I don’t know if it was ever shown on the whois-server but “I miss it”. Your webpage has that information. Any chance of getting that information in there? Should I mail someone instead of writing on a random blog?

How do I get the magic refer: attribute?
