A Whois Lookup is a search term that is used to provide information about a domain name. This information falls into 4 main categories:
Domain Ownership Information — the domain name, the web address, nameserver information, the registrant (name, organization, address, etc.), details of the administrative contact, technical contact, etc. Note: all information provided is subject to compliance and other relevant regulations such as GDPR.
Registration and expiration dates — including the date the domain was initially registered, when it was last updated, and the date the current registration will end.
Name Server Information (NS) information — the domain's nameserver information. For complete DNS information such as IP addresses, Nameservers (NS), Mail Exchange (MX) records, Canonical Name (CNAME) records, Time-To-Live (TTL), and Service (SRV) records, you can use our DNS Lookup API.
Registrar information — including the domain registrar’s name and contact details, their Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) name, WHOIS server, website URL, phone numbers, abuse contact, etc.
