About the WHOIS Lookup Tool

The WHOIS Lookup tool queries the modern RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) system to return authoritative registration information for any domain — registrar, creation date, expiry date, last-updated timestamp, current status codes, nameservers and (where public) registrant contact details. RDAP is the JSON-based successor to the classic port-43 WHOIS protocol and is what every major registry now serves, so results are structured, consistent and internationally normalized.

Domain admins, security teams, brand-protection specialists, journalists and legal teams use WHOIS lookups constantly — to verify who owns a domain before signing a contract, to spot expiring domains that need renewal, to investigate phishing infrastructure, to audit acquired brand portfolios and to confirm that a critical DNS name has been transferred to the correct registrar during a hosting migration.

Since GDPR and similar privacy laws came into force, most personal registrant details are now redacted for non-commercial domains. What remains public — registrar, dates, statuses, nameservers — is still enough to answer almost every operational question, and RDAP's structured output makes it easy to integrate with monitoring, alerting and asset-management workflows.

Frequently asked questions

WHOIS is the traditional protocol for looking up domain registration data. RDAP is its modern replacement — a JSON-over-HTTPS protocol that returns the same information in a structured, standardized format.
