Whois
Retrieve detailed domain registration and ownership information using the Whois protocol.
A WHOIS lookup retrieves registration information for a domain, including the registrar, key dates, and technical details such as name servers and DNS records.
The WHOIS database stores public domain registration data, including registrant contact information, registrar details, and the domain's current status.
Enter a domain name into the WHOIS search tool to retrieve registration and hosting information from official registry data.
You can update WHOIS data through your domain registrar. Changes typically include contact details, administrative roles, or DNS configurations.
Enable WHOIS privacy protection through your registrar to hide personal contact details and comply with applicable privacy regulations.
Some registrars or registries mask WHOIS data to comply with privacy laws such as GDPR, displaying proxy details instead of registrant information.
Discrepancies may occur if outdated details are stored or privacy protection is enabled. Update your records via your registrar to ensure accuracy.
WHOIS tools do not process registrations directly, but they help identify available domains, which can then be registered through a domain registrar.
A WHOIS search indicates whether a domain is available or already registered. If available, you can proceed with registration through your chosen provider.
