Domain name whois lookup
The Whois (from “Who is”) is a service that provides information about a domain name and its holder. Our Whois service now uses the RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol), which makes results easier to read thanks to structured data, while also complying with the GDPR’s privacy requirements. Learn more about RDAP.
Good news,
the domain is available!
FAQ
The Whois of a domain is used to access the public information available for a domain name. To run a search, simply enter the domain name you’re interested in into the search bar at the top of the page.
Our Whois service is based on the RDAP protocol. This means the results are displayed in a standardised, more readable format than the old Whois system, while also complying with Registry privacy rules. Learn more about the new RDAP protocol.
Your search results will appear as a structured list. You’ll be able to see information about the domain holder, the administrative, technical and billing contacts, as well as the Registry in charge of the extension, the Registrar, and the name servers where the website is declared.
Please note that the data displayed may vary from one Registry to another, as each defines its own privacy rules. Depending on the Registry, personal details of domain holders may be protected and some sensitive information may be hidden, while still remaining accessible to the relevant authorities in cases of abuse or dispute. For more details, see our Whois Privacy page.
The Whois database centralises all the information related to a domain name.
Although some details may be hidden to protect privacy (under GDPR or Whois Privacy rules), they can still be used for legal or administrative purposes. This information must remain accurate and up to date, in accordance with the obligations of domain holders and Registries.
The time it takes for a Whois update to appear depends on the Registry managing the domain extension. Some changes are reflected immediately, while others may take longer.
With the RDAP protocol, our service provides information in real time as soon as it is published by the Registry.
Unlike Registry and Registrar names, data referring to web hosting providers is not recorded in the Whois database.
However, the nameservers listed in the results can sometimes provide clues about the hosting provider.
To find out who owns a website, simply enter the domain name into the Whois search bar. Your query results will display various contact information, including administrative, technical, billing, and registrant details.
For some extensions, particularly country code domains (ccTLDs), or due to GDPR or Whois Privacy rules, personal information may be partially or fully hidden.
In certain cases, it is possible to request the lifting of anonymity from the Registry, or through extrajudicial procedures such as UDRP, SYRELI, or ADR. For more information, see our Whois Privacy page.
To find out the creation date of a domain, simply perform a Whois search by entering the domain name in the search bar.
With the old Whois protocol, the format of results was not standardised: depending on the Registry, the creation date could appear under different labels (“Created”, “Registration date”, “Creation date”…).
Today, our service uses the RDAP protocol. This means search results are now standardised and structured. The creation date of a domain can be found under: Domain Information > Events > Created.
