...Computing an histogram of LLL.in portfolio size....
Do you mean to find out that one Mr. X owns how many domains and another Mr Y. owns how many domains? To achieve this, either
a. we need to supply the name X to script, so that it can compare the whois info to that Name,
Or
b. For each and every taken domain, script saves the Registrant name, then in the end, it analyzes all the names again and count the occurrences of each similar name, then give us each name with occurrence.
This all is possible, but will be too resource-intensive. The problem with approach A may be that I don't think every domainer uses same name for all of his domains. I don't know about others, but I myself, use my own WHOis info at some very-important domains, which I don't want to sell. On other domains, which I own just for business, I have made some 2 or 3 contact info's, like Group ABC, or Group XYZ. My point is a same person
may have divided his portfolio into two or three groups.
As with B, different persons may have same name and script will group them same.
Not to mention, the total LLL.ins are
17576 and to run each query for above mentioned tests will consume considerable resources. But, again, it is possible.
...- Computing a 2D Pie chart with investors by countries...
This is comparably easy to the above one,. Script just need to count the occurrences of country name. A simple array of all country names, and a switch statement. But again, double resources as compared to only availability check. Or list of only Taken domains can be fed to script(At the moment 17576, 100% Buyout). Anyways, I like the Idea, and will run the the test soon and let everybody know. Need to find list of all country codes used by registry. Like IN for India, and CN for China etc...
...PS: do you deliver your script as php code or as an executable?...
I will give
PHP file and Portable Free Xampp server(Download link only) to run it local, Because it is always faster on local computer/server as compared to some managed hosting.. Also most managed servers has only about 30 seconds maximum execution time limit set.. and other limits... But script can run on any managed server, which supports PHP 4 or above.
