Just for my own reference, to install WHOIS client on your Centos 7 server, you need to do some extra step. A simple yum install whois or yum install jwhois could not work, as you could get the following error: No package jwhois available.
So, in order to be able to install WHOIS, type the following command:
[adsense:336×280:6928840684]
yum whatprovides *bin/whois*
The response will be:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirror.checkdomain.de
* epel: mirrors.n-ix.net
* extras: mirror.checkdomain.de
* updates: mirror.checkdomain.de

whois-5.1.1-2.el7.x86_64 : Improved WHOIS client
Repo : base
Matched from:
Filename : /usr/bin/whois.md
Filename : /usr/bin/whois
Then type:
[adsense:336×280:5172905888]
yum install whoisAnd you should get it OK:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

* base: mirror.checkdomain.de
* epel: mirrors.n-ix.net
* extras: mirror.checkdomain.de
* updates: mirror.checkdomain.de
