I'm getting this error message when attempting to search for a domain.

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to whois.crsnic.net:43 (Connection timed out) in
<file root>.../html/modules/mod_s5_domain_check/mod_s5_domain_check.php

Thanks,

Hi, I see the problem on your site but the strange part is I tried it here locally and it gave no problems. Your error is saying "Connection refused" so I'm wondering if somehow the whois.crsnic.net server has blocked your server.

I run off GoDaddy, so not sure what all that means (newbie), its frustrating because its a really cool feature.

Here is my site that is having the problem.

http://domainnameshostingservices.com/

Is this something I can talk to my host about?

This would be really nice for my customers.

You can try it with a different whois server. Edit the file mod_s5_domain_checker.php in your modules folder and look for:

if (($d_net != '') || ($d_all != '') ) showDomainResult($domainbase.".net",'whois.crsnic.net','No match for');

around line 289 and change it to:

if (($d_net != '') || ($d_all != '') ) showDomainResult($domainbase.".net",'whois.internic.net','No match for');

At your site the module is lightning quick. At my site:

http://www.mediaworks.pro/us/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=36&Itemid=2

it takes minutes, to render error messages like these for every domain:

Code:
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]:
unable to connect to whois.opensrs.net:43
(Connection timed out) in /us/modules/mod_s5_domain_check/mod_s5_domain_check.php on line 55

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]:
unable to connect to whois.publicinterestregistry.net:43
(Connection timed out) in /us/modules/mod_s5_domain_check/mod_s5_domain_check.php on line 55

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]:
unable to connect to whois.nic.uk:43
(Connection timed out) in /us/modules/mod_s5_domain_check/mod_s5_domain_check.php on line 55

The problem seems associated with port 43: I'm afraid my hosting provider blocks it to avoid too much traffic.
How can I solve this problem?
May a need a virtual server? I use a shared hosting.
