Check domain ownership and registration info

Want to see who owns a domain? Curious when a domain will expire or become available again? The Domain WHOIS Tool gives you instant access to public domain registration records — including registrant details, registrar name, registration and expiry dates, and DNS status.

Whether you’re interested in buying a domain, investigating competitors, or verifying ownership, this tool helps you find reliable, real-time answers.

What Is a WHOIS Lookup?

WHOIS is a protocol used to retrieve domain name registration data. When someone registers a domain, that information (unless protected by privacy settings) is recorded in a public database.

The Domain WHOIS Tool pulls this data and displays key domain details such as:

  • Registrant name and organization (if public)
  • Domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap)
  • Domain creation and expiration dates
  • DNS nameservers in use
  • Domain status (active, expired, on hold, etc.)

Why Use a Domain WHOIS Tool?

Understanding domain ownership and history can be essential for:

  • Purchasing a domain that’s already taken
  • Verifying domain legitimacy before entering partnerships
  • Tracking domain expiration to monitor drops or renewals
  • Checking registrar details for transfer or support
  • Investigating competitor domains or parked assets

Our Domain WHOIS Tool provides this data quickly, clearly, and without requiring technical knowledge.

How to Use the Domain WHOIS Tool

  1. Enter the domain name you want to look up (e.g., example.com)

If the domain is protected by WHOIS privacy, you’ll still see registrar and technical details.

Tips for Interpreting WHOIS Data

  • If a domain uses WHOIS Privacy Protection, the registrant's name may be hidden

Domain Name: The fully qualified domain name being queried (e.g., BOGDAN.COM).

Registry Domain ID: A unique identifier assigned by the domain registry (not the registrar) to this domain.

Registrar WHOIS Server: The server that holds WHOIS data managed by the domain registrar.

Registrar URL: The official website of the domain registrar (e.g., Tucows Domains Inc.).

Updated Date: The last time the domain’s registration information was updated (e.g., renewal, DNS change).

Creation Date: The date the domain was originally registered.

Registry Expiry Date: The date when the current registration is set to expire (unless renewed).

Registrar: The company currently managing the domain's registration.

Registrar IANA ID: An identifier assigned by IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) to the registrar.

Registrar Abuse Contact Email / Phone: Contact information for reporting abuse (e.g., spam or fraud) related to the domain.

Domain Status:
Special registry status codes:

  • clientTransferProhibited: The domain cannot be transferred without registrar approval.
  • clientUpdateProhibited: Prevents updates to the domain’s information. (These help prevent unauthorized changes or hijacking.)

Name Server: The DNS servers currently resolving the domain (e.g., NS1.MAILBANK.COM). These are responsible for directing traffic to the website or email services.

DNSSEC: Indicates whether DNS Security Extensions are enabled.

  • unsigned means the domain is not protected by DNSSEC.
