http://cqcounter.com has an exceptionally complete database containing:
* domains
* IP of the domain in the past e.g. http://cqcounter.com/whois/site/activegaminginfo.com.html which actually contains the IP 66.175.106.148!
* 727 x 545 screenshots from the past e.g. at: http://cqcounter.com/whois/www/activegaminginfo.com.html[]. These were also presumably meant to show as a thumbnail on the main page: http://cqcounter.com/whois/www/activegaminginfo.com.html[] but don't because it's buggy. It's not as good as the HTML from Wayback machine as we can't confirm comms like that, but still this can d help to verify if known in-range domains that the wayback machine didn't archive well (because it is buggy as hell?) have correct style and if they have anything fun in them

Unfortunately I can't find a reverse IP search method.

And perhaps due to having lots of <CAPTCHAs>, Google doesn't seem to index that website very well... it even has a tiny screenshot! And it also shows some more metadata beyond IP, e.g. HTTP response headers, which notably contain stuff like `Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1`.

They seem to have an exceptionally complete database.

Both http://cqcounter.com/whois/www/teclafinance.com.html and http://cqcounter.com/whois/site/activegaminginfo.com.html both are broken, so it appears that their screenshot mechanism at the time did nor support Chinese characters well.

They also have some random localized versions:
* https://dawhois.com/site/activegaminginfo.com.html
* https://www.bgwhois.com/site/activegaminginfo.com.html
These can be useful if your IP gets blacklisted on the main site because you were checking too many sites.

As of 2025 they are marked at http://cqcounter.com/ as "Copyright 2000-2004".
