After I finished the last article I decided to check whois records on three chiropractic companies that offer chiropractic website design and hosting services to see who has been around the longest. This is not the most accurate way to check since sometimes domains expire and they may had been registered somewhere else earlier. Being that all three are from the 1990’s I figure the results are fairly accurate.

Domain information was received from godaddy.com (which is a great company for hosting websites).

The first company is called ChiroPlanet and according to whois records their main domain was registered on January 6th, 1999.

Domain Name: CHIROPLANET.COM
Registrar: TUCOWS INC.
Whois Server: whois.opensrs.net
Referral URL: http://WWW.TUCOWS.COM
Name Server: NS1.HE.NET
Name Server: NS2.HE.NET
Name Server: NS3.HE.NET
Status: clientTransferProhibited
Status: clientUpdateProhibited
Status: clientDeleteProhibited
Updated Date: 13-nov-2006
Creation Date: 06-jan-1999

The second domain is called NowYouKnow and they show doman creation records on January 11th, 1999. That is only 5 days after the creation of chiroplanet. Both of these companies are still in business and they host many chiropractic websites.

Domain Name: NOWYOUKNOW.NET
Registrar: GKG.NET, INC.
Whois Server: whois.gkg.net
Referral URL: http://www.gkg.net
Name Server: NS1.NOWYOUKNOW.COM
Name Server: NS2.NOWYOUKNOW.COM
Status: clientTransferProhibited
Updated Date: 12-jan-2007
Creation Date: 11-jan-1999

The third, PlanetChiropractic, shows a creation date of December 2nd, 1998. That would make it the oldest chiropractic website and design comany of the three. To be fair though, Planet Chiropractic hosts and designs mainly for chiropractic organization websites, professional chiropractic content websites, and less than 100 chiropractor in practice type websites.

Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. (http://www.godaddy.com)
Domain Name: PLANETCHIROPRACTIC.COM
Created on: 02-Dec-98
Expires on: 01-Dec-12

As I mentioned in a previous post there are few chiropractic website companies that have been around since the 1990’s. I certainly could recommend either of the top two companies as they both continue to provide great services to their clients. I won’t recommend Planet Chiropractic for webhosting / webdesign since I have a financial relationship with the company.

I’ll also again say that GoDaddy has provided superior service for many chiropractic designed websites that are actively hosted on their networks.
