Frequently Asked Questions
WHOIS is a protocol and a database that provides information about domain name registrations. It allows individuals or organizations to query and retrieve details about domain names, including the domain owner’s contact information, registration and expiration dates, name servers, and more.
The information available through WHOIS can vary depending on the domain registrar and the domain’s owner preferences. Generally, it includes details such as the domain owner’s name, organization, email address, postal address, phone number, registration and expiration dates, name servers, and sometimes administrative and technical contacts.
The accuracy of WHOIS information depends on the domain owner’s diligence in keeping their details up to date. While registrars require accurate information during the initial registration process, it’s possible for some details to become outdated over time. It’s important for domain owners to regularly review and update their WHOIS information to ensure its accuracy.
To perform a WHOIS lookup, you can visit a WHOIS lookup service or use the WHOIS query functionality provided by Gitservers or domain registration authorities. Enter the domain name you want to query, and the service will retrieve and display the relevant information associated with that domain.
Yes, many domain registrars offer a service called domain privacy or WHOIS privacy protection. This service allows you to mask your personal contact information from public WHOIS queries. Instead of displaying your personal details, the registrar’s information is shown, safeguarding your privacy and reducing the risk of unsolicited contacts or spam.
In some cases, domain owners may have the option to opt out of having their personal information publicly displayed in WHOIS. This is typically available through domain privacy or WHOIS privacy services offered by domain registrars. By subscribing to these services, your contact information is replaced with the registrar’s information, preserving your privacy and reducing the risk of unwanted solicitations or spam.
