Data Fields
Data Fields
Below is a listing of the data fields we routinely collect. Every day our system attempts to update the existing data and collect new data. What is listed below is our standard fields. Being that our database is relational meaning 1 to many (fields) and configurable we routinely build custom lists for our clients
We can tell you:
- All of a particular companies domain names, when they registered them/with what registrar and when they expire
- Now reverse that scenario and build a new list i.e
A particular Registrar all the domain names they registered over a specific time, or all of there domain names that are set to expire on a given day
- Or would you like - All new businesses on the internet
- We can take that a few steps further and tell you - the status of their web site i.e under construction /active /redirected / etc
- If you would like more info how about we get - The Meta Tags from their web site which would tell you the goods and services they offer on the site or classify the type of business they are
Review the fields with an open mind and design a data card for your purpose

Email addresses
Domain names: The address or URL of a particular Web site, it is the text name corresponding to the numeric IP address of a computer on the Internet.
Website Address: A series of letters, numbers, and/or symbols by which you identify yourself and by which the Internet identifies you (actually, your computer). It is also a location where information is stored. Through the use of addresses, people can send e-mail, look at Web sites, and send or receive files and documents. An e-mail address takes the form of username@hostname.com, where the username"> is a name you have chosen and the host name is that of your ISP or e-mail provider. The symbol in the middle is the "at" symbol (@). Your e-mail address is verbalized as "username at hostname dot com." A Web address is the same as a URL. Think of it as a telephone number, where every one is different. A WWW address usually starts with "http://www" followed by a "dot" and then a domain name. The Internet is global, and most companies outside the United States use their country's abbreviation instead of the popular "dot com." (For a list of country code abbreviations, see: country codes.) An Internet address refers to both of the above, as well as to an IP address, which is a number given to a computer terminal where a user logs on to the Internet. If you've ever seen a set of numbers in place of a domain name (for example, http://66.201.69.207), you've seen that Web site's IP address.
Domain registrar
Website Host, a.k.a. Web site hosting: The business of providing the equipment and services required to host and maintain files for one or more Web sites and to provide fast Internet connections to those sites. Most hosting is "shared," which means that Web sites of multiple companies are on the same server in order to share costs. Virtual hosting means that services will be transparent (so that each site has its own domain name and e-mail addresses). Dedicated hosting means that the Web hosting company provides all of the equipment and assumes all of the responsibility for technical support and maintenance of a Web site.
Email Host
Web site Status: Our system will allow us to provide the current status of a website i.e under construction / active /redirected /dead etc
Domain expiration: Because we continually monitor all domain names we pay special attention to expiration dates we have the ability to provide lists of domain names set to expire or expired domain names we can even distinguish between names that have expired but still resolve to a valid zone file verses those that have expired and are available for registration by another party.
ISP: A company that provides users access to the Internet. Before you can connect to the Net, you must first establish an account with an ISP. For a monthly fee, the Internet Service Provider gives you a software package, a username, a password, and an access phone number. Once you install the software on your computer and go through the registration process, you'll be able to surf the Web, send e-mail, chat, and read the newsgroups, among many other things.
Mail server software
Web server software: A host computer on a network. It houses information and responds to requests for information (for example, it houses Web sites and executes their links to other Web sites). The term "server" also refers to the software that makes the act of "serving information" possible. Commerce servers, for example, use software to run the main functions of an e-commerce Web site, such as product display, online ordering, and inventory management (you'll also hear this described as shopping cart technology). A server is the control computer on a LAN, meaning it controls the software, access to printers, and other parts of the network (usually accompanied by workstations that "share the load"). A server may be dedicated (where its sole purpose is to be the server) or non-dedicated (where in addition to being the server, it can be used for basic computing purposes).
Web site Meta tags: An optional HTML tag that contains information about a Web page. Some search engines, such as AltaVista, use spiders that index Web pages based on meta tags. So, in theory, an HTML or Web page author can control how a site is indexed by search engines and how and when it will be called up during a user's search. Within the meta tag, a keyword tag defines the primary keywords of a Web page. The meta tag can also specify an HTTP or URL address for the page to jump to after a certain amount of time (this is known as client pull). So, a Web page author can control the amount of time a Web page is up on the screen, as well as where the browser will go next.
Internet DNS server: The Domain Name System (DNS) helps users to find their way around the Internet. Every computer on the Internet has a unique address -just like a telephone number- which is a rather complicated string of numbers. It is called its "IP address." But it is hard to remember everyone's IP address. The DNS makes it easier by allowing a familiar string of letters (the "domain name") to be used instead of the arcane IP address. So instead of typing 66.201.69.207, you can type www.netlingo.com. It is a "mnemonic" device that makes addresses easier to remember. Translating the name into the IP address is called "resolving the domain name." The goal of the DNS is for any Internet user any place in the world to reach a specific Web site IP address by entering its domain name. Domain names are also used for reaching e-mail addresses and for other Internet applications. The DNS is a static, hierarchical name service that uses TCP/IP hosts and is housed on a number of servers on the Internet.
TLD Listings: In the Domain Name System (DNS) hierarchy, it is the highest level under the root. In a domain name, it is that portion that appears furthest to the right; for example, the "com" in www.netlingo.com. Two letter domains, such as .uk, .de and .jp (for example), are called "country code top-level domains" (ccTLDs) and correspond to a country, territory, or other geographic location. The rules and policies for registering domain names in the ccTLDs vary significantly and some are reserved for use by citizens of the corresponding country. You should check with the registrar offering ccTLD registration services regarding the specific terms and conditions for registration. Be sure to also read through these definitions: .com, .edu, .gov, .net, .org, country codes.
Who is: Web-based utility used to look up names in a remote database, it was initially used as an aid for finding the e-mail addresses of people in large institutions or companies. Now it is primarily used to look up domain name ownership information on InterNIC, the organization that maintains it. As such, it is a searchable database that contains information about networks, networking organizations, domain names, and the contacts associated with each, for the .com, .org, .net, .edu, .mil, and "ISO 3166" country code top-level domains. Whois also refers to the protocol, or set of rules, that describes the application used to access the database. Other organizations have implemented the whois protocol and maintain separate and distinct whois databases for their respective domains.
E-Commercer Site: Put simply, it means conducting business online. Selling goods, in the traditional sense, is possible to do electronically because of certain software programs that run the main functions of an e-commerce Web site, including product display, online ordering, and inventory management. The software resides on a commerce server and works in conjunction with online payment systems to process payments. Since these servers and data lines make up the backbone of the Internet, in a broad sense, e-commerce means doing business over interconnected networks.
