Whois: Lookup Domain Availability
What is WHOIS?
Whois is a protocol and database system that provides information on a domain’s registration and ownership. The listing tells you who owns the domain and how to reach them. It shows the domain owner’s name, address, email, and contact details. It also includes the domain’s registration period and expiration. While the information in WHOIS records can change, it will always include the registration dates, name servers, and registrar.
Whois Lookup -
How Does It Work?
Anyone who registers a domain must provide the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) with their name and contact information. This information is stored in the Whois records to make it accessible to the public. If your domain name is already registered, you can use our Whois domain tools and services to contact the domain owner and negotiate with them.
