How to run a WHOIS lookup

Type a domain like example.com and press Look up. You get the registrar of record, the registration, last-updated and expiry dates, the domain status codes (such as clientTransferProhibited), the nameservers, and whether DNSSEC is signed. It is pulled live from the registry over RDAP.

A WHOIS lookup shows a domain's registration details — the registrar it was bought through, when it was created, last updated and expires, its status codes, and its nameservers. Enter a domain to pull them live via RDAP, the modern replacement for WHOIS.

What WHOIS is used for

Checking when a domain expires, confirming which registrar controls it before a transfer, seeing if it is locked, and verifying nameservers. Note that registrant name and contact details are usually redacted now for privacy (GDPR) — you will see the registrar, not the person.

FAQ

Why can't I see the owner's name?Since GDPR, registries redact registrant name, email and address for most domains. You can see the registrar and the domain's dates and status, but not the individual — contacting them goes through the registrar.

What is RDAP?RDAP is the modern, structured (JSON) successor to the old text-based WHOIS. ICANN is phasing WHOIS out in favour of it, so this tool uses RDAP for cleaner, more reliable data.

Why is there no data for some domains?A few registries (some country-code TLDs) do not publish RDAP, or the domain is unregistered — in those cases there is nothing to return.
