What WHOIS shows

Registration details at a glance

A WHOIS lookup queries the public domain directory and returns who registered a domain, the registrar of record, when it was created, and when it expires — useful for buying a name, checking a competitor, or verifying your own records.

If a domain you want is taken, WHOIS can show when it is due to expire.

  • See registrar and creation/expiry dates
  • Check whether a name is available
  • Look up contact info (unless privacy-protected)
Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I find out who owns a domain?

Enter the domain above and run a WHOIS lookup. The public registry returns the registrar and, unless the owner uses privacy protection, their listed contact details.

Why is some WHOIS information hidden?

Many owners enable domain privacy, which replaces personal details with proxy information in the public record. You can still see the registrar and key dates.

Can I register a domain that shows as taken?

If a name is registered you cannot buy it new, but WHOIS shows its expiry date. You can try to register it if it later becomes available, or pick a different ending.
