What is the WHOIS protocol?

The WHOIS database is an official, public ledger mandated by ICANN. It can be utilized to pull critical infrastructure information about a domain's registrant, nameservers, and status code as many times as you want for free.

How it works

Whoever registers a domain must give their details to that extension's registry. Our tool asks the official registry in real time (RDAP) and shows the details clearly.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the owner information "REDACTED" or hidden?

Due to global privacy regulations like GDPR, many registrars and users enable WHOIS Privacy Protection. This masks the owner's name, email, and phone number with proxy information to prevent spam and data scraping.

How accurate is the WHOIS lookup data?

We ask the official registry for each extension in real time, so the status, nameservers and dates are current at the moment you search.

What does "ClientTransferProhibited" status mean?

This is a standard security status enforced by the registrar (commonly called a "Domain Lock"). It prevents unauthorized or malicious transfers. To migrate the domain to Vagocat, the owner must first toggle this lock off.

Can I use this tool to lookup IP addresses?

This tool is for domain names. To find who owns an IP address, use the ARIN or RIPE databases.
