WHOIS Lookup
Registrar, dates and nameservers for a domain
Read the public registration record for a domain — who it is registered through, when it was created, when it expires, which nameservers it uses and any registry locks on it.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the owner's name hidden?
Since GDPR, most registries redact personal contact details from public WHOIS. The registrar, dates, nameservers and status flags are still published.
What do the domain status codes mean?
They are registry locks. clientTransferProhibited means the domain cannot be moved to another registrar without unlocking it first — usually a good thing, as it blocks hijacking attempts.
Can I see when a domain expires?
Yes, when the registry publishes it. Note that the expiry date is not the date the name becomes available — most registries add a redemption period of a month or more after it.
