What is WHOIS?

The Internet's Domain Directory

WHOIS is a publicly available database that stores information about every registered domain name on the internet. When someone registers a domain, their details — including name, email, registrar, and expiry date — are recorded in the WHOIS database.

This data is publicly accessible to help identify domain owners, verify legitimate businesses, detect phishing sites, and track domain expiry for potential purchase. Think of it as the "phone book" of the internet.

Check who owns a domain before buying it
Verify if a website is legitimate or a phishing site
Find out when a domain is expiring to monitor availability
Get registrar & nameserver info for DNS troubleshooting
Contact domain owners for transfer or partnership enquiries

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about WHOIS lookups and domain information.

A WHOIS lookup typically shows the domain registrar, creation date, expiry date, last updated date, domain status, nameservers, and (where not privacy-protected) the registrant's name, organisation, email, phone number, and address. Many domains today use WHOIS privacy protection, which hides personal contact details.
Most domain registrars offer a WHOIS privacy protection service that replaces the owner's personal contact details with proxy information. This is especially common after GDPR regulations came into effect in 2018. The domain is still registered to a real owner — their details are just hidden from public view to prevent spam and protect privacy.
Yes. WHOIS shows the expiry date of any registered domain. If you find a domain expiring soon, you can monitor it and attempt to register it once it becomes available. However, there is a redemption grace period after expiry where the original owner can still renew — typically 30–45 days — before it becomes truly available for registration.
Yes, our WHOIS tool is completely free with no limits on lookups. You don't need to create an account or provide any personal information. Some WHOIS servers may rate-limit excessive automated queries, but normal usage is always free and unrestricted.
WHOIS shows domain registration information — who registered the domain, when, with which registrar, and when it expires. DNS lookup shows the technical records of a domain — like which IP address it points to (A record), mail servers (MX), or other DNS configurations. Both are useful but serve different purposes: WHOIS for ownership, DNS for routing.
When WHOIS privacy protection is active, the proxy email shown in the WHOIS record usually forwards messages to the real owner. You can send an email to the listed proxy address and the registrar will forward it. Alternatively, many domains have a contact form on their website or a listed email in their website footer.
