About WHOIS lookup

Look up a domain's registration record: registrar, creation and expiry dates, name servers and status codes. Many registrars now hide owner details behind privacy services or because of data protection rules. Check expiry dates to catch domains about to lapse or become available.

How to use WHOIS lookup

  1. Type the domain name.
  2. Run the lookup.
  3. Read the registrar, creation and expiry dates, name servers and status.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the domain owner's name hidden?

Registrars offer privacy services, and data protection laws like GDPR have led many to redact personal details. You usually see the registrar and a proxy contact instead.

What do domain status codes mean?

They show locks and states, for example clientTransferProhibited, which blocks transfers, or redemption period, which means the domain has expired. Each has a specific meaning at the registry.

How do I find out when a domain expires?

Look at the expiry date in the result. If you own the domain, renew it before that date, because expired domains can stop working and may be released.

Is WHOIS lookup free?
