What happened to the whois.com website?

Happy Friday Everyone!

Does anyone use the whois.com website to find e-mails of the owners of a particular website? I see it changed to whois.net but doesn't seem to be providing the same info it use to? Does anyone know anything about this??

It seems like www.whois.com is still there, and works the way it always has?

Just seeing this- but i 'second' Dave's reply. - This still works fine: http://www.whois.com/whois/

I follow up with an email tester tool- Email hunter. (emailhunter.co) Plus a great Chrome Extension "Lusha"- if available, provides work and non-work emails .
