It took you "hours" to run nmap/dig/whois ?

Not a very good advertisement of your talents, which the post seemed to
be attempting. Even giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming the
phishers employed basic obfuscation of the host (Which I would doubt as
usually it's someone else machine anyway) hours is a seriously long time
to run a few basic commands.
