Do Not Do This.
You have a Linux box. Use "whois whatever.co.uk" from the command line.
Typing it into a website to do it is dangerous; some of them will assume
from your search that you're looking to register that domain and will
then register it *themselves* so they can charge you fifty quid for it
rather than about a tenner.
