WHOIS lookup

Look up any domain

Whether it is registered, who it is registered through, when it expires and where it points — straight from the registry’s public record.

What a lookup shows

The public part of a domain's registration record, as its registry publishes it.

  • Whether it is registered

    And if it is not, a link to check it and register it.

  • The registrar

    The company the domain is registered through — the one to contact about it.

  • Key dates

    When it was registered, when it expires, and when it last moved registrar.

  • Status codes

    Locks and pending changes, each explained in plain words.

  • Nameservers

    Where the domain points — usually the company hosting its website or email.

Where the answer comes from

Each lookup goes to the registry that runs the extension — Verisign for .com, for example — found through IANA's public directory, using RDAP, the service that has replaced WHOIS. Some country-code registries do not run it, and those we cannot look up. We keep an answer for up to 15 minutes, so a change made in the last few minutes may not show yet.

Why owner details are hidden

Data protection law, and ICANN's Registration Data Policy, mean most registries no longer publish who owns a domain. We never show an owner's name or contact details, even when a registry does publish them. To reach an owner, contact the registrar named in the lookup.
