Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about WHOIS lookups.

A WHOIS lookup queries the public WHOIS database to retrieve registration information about a domain name. This includes the registrar, registration and expiration dates, nameservers, and domain status. WHOIS data is maintained by domain registries and registrars worldwide.
Yes, our WHOIS lookup tool is completely free to use. You can check the registration details of any domain without creating an account or paying any fees. We query official WHOIS servers directly in real-time.
Many domain registrars offer WHOIS privacy protection (also known as domain privacy or ID protection) that replaces the registrant's personal contact details with proxy information. Additionally, regulations such as GDPR and ICANN's Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data have led registrars to redact personal data from public WHOIS records by default.
WHOIS data is typically updated within minutes to hours after a change is made to a domain's registration. However, some registries cache responses, so there may be a short delay. Our tool queries the authoritative WHOIS servers directly, so you always get the most current available data.
