This app is under construction. The intended functionality is to allow registered users to perform a whois lookup on a domain name, and then mark that domain name with an alert.
A cron job will execute regular whois lookups on all of the domains in the alert database and will notify users via email or SMS that a domain they have an alert on it close to expiring, allowing them to contact the domain holder before the domain drops and is released to the competitive aftermarket auctionhouses.
The final project will be deployed under my doman NameFountain.com.
I am fairly new to Rails development and am using the conventions set forth in Michael Hartl's Rails Tutorial book. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].
