# WHOIS domain lookup

See who a domain is registered with, when it was created, when it expires and which name servers it uses, straight from the registry.

## How it works

1.

### Enter a domain

Type the domain name you want to look up, with its extension.

2.

### We ask the registry

Our server queries the official registry database over RDAP, the modern replacement for WHOIS published by every generic extension.

3.

### Read the facts

Registrar, key dates, status codes and name servers, with each status explained. Contact details are never shown.

## WHOIS lookup: questions and answers

###

RDAP is the standard that replaced the old text WHOIS service. It returns the same registration facts in a structured format, over HTTPS, from the registry that runs the extension.
