    Need Help Looking up Company's Web URL's

    I am a business student and we are working on a project for school in excel with a whole bunch of company's. I have about 1,000 company names in excel with their physical addresses but I need there websites. Is there a way to find those company's web URL's and then import them in a column next to the company names? I have been going to the web and Googling the company names and copy/pasting the URL's into excel and it is taking forever!! Does anyone know of a quicker way??? Please let me know.

    Hello RClutch99 ,

    Welcome to the Forum!

    As far as I can tell, there are no free services that provide a reverse WhoIs lookup (also known as registrant lookup). Even if there were you would still have the problem of sorting out which website was associated with the company you want. While the DNS must be unique, there can be more than one registrant by the same name with a website. There just aren't any easy methods I know of to accomplish your goal.
    Sincerely,

    I had a feeling that was the case but was just wondering if someone knew of a little trick I didn't. Thanks!
