Frequently Asked Questions
What is a WHOIS Lookup?
WHOIS lookup provides information about a domain name's registration details, including registrar information, registration and expiration dates, nameservers, and sometimes registrant contact information (depending on privacy settings).
How does this tool work?
This tool uses RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol), the modern replacement for WHOIS, to retrieve domain registration information. It communicates directly with domain registries using standardized protocols, with multiple fallback methods to ensure reliable results.
Can I see who owns a domain?
Due to privacy concerns and GDPR regulations, many domain owners now use privacy protection services that shield their personal information from public WHOIS lookups. For these domains, you'll see the privacy service's information instead of the actual owner's details.
Why is WHOIS information important?
WHOIS information helps verify domain ownership, check domain age and expiration dates, identify contact points for reporting abuse, and is essential when considering domain acquisitions or during investigations.
Why might the WHOIS data be incomplete?
WHOIS data may be incomplete due to privacy protection services, GDPR compliance measures, or registrar restrictions. Some registrars and country-code domains (.uk, .eu, etc.) have different policies regarding what information is publicly available.
Why am I seeing an error?
Some domains may not respond to WHOIS or RDAP queries due to registrar restrictions, privacy settings, or the domain not being registered. This tool tries multiple methods to retrieve information, but some domains may still not return data.
