Domain Punch Professional supports a large number of top level and country code domains. It also supports any domain extension that allows lookup through a port 43 whois server. So if your country code is not supported, you can easily add support for it.

For more details please see the knowledge base article on whois server configuration.

Most of the whois server options for a specific domain can be accessed by right clicking on a domain in your domain list and selecting the options under the Whois Setup popup menu.

See screen shot below.

Number of simultaneous "Max Connections"

This specifies the total number of connections that are made from your system to whois servers. Some whois servers impose a limit on number of simultaneous connections that are allowed.  If you find that connections are being refused decrease this number to a lower value.

Connection Interval

Specifies the gap between two sets of connections.  Increase this if you get too many errors.

Tip:When you have a large number of domains in the database the software may become slow and sluggish whenever multiple lookups are in progress. Increase the connection interval to a large number if this happens.

Over-riding the whois connection settings

It is possible to globally over-ride connection interval and connection count settings for all whois servers. This allows you to speed up the whois lookups whenever you want to do a small set of lookups. The over-ride is applicable to the current software session. Please note that you should do this only if you know what you are doing.
