How does that work? Iana says that “neustar” is the TLD manager for .us (Who did it use to be?), but [http://whois.nic.neustar](http://whois.nic.neustar) doesn’t report any information. Where is DomainTools getting the information, and why isn’t neustar reporting anything? ---

How do they get the information on their cloned website? Is it all copied from this website? That would take forever and I think the server would block that as an attack. ---
