I was looking for a Whois Api, but most of them charge heavy price and not reliable enough. We can code in Python or Php.
We need to make a Whois lookup service, to integrate with our site. What AWS Resource we need for this? We need at least 5k lookups per day.
AWS provides: S3 , elastic, and others. We are confused. As Amazon provides free tire. Does it allow who is lookup? As google app engine never allowed this.
The Amazon service you want to use is the server service: EC2.
You get full access to a server and, of course, you can performs socket connections on port 43 (the one required by the Whois protocol).
