WHOIS Lookup

WHOIS lookup

See whether a domain is registered, which registrar holds it, when it expires, and which nameservers it uses. Personal contact data is not shown.

WHOIS and RDAP are public registration records. Use them to check a name before you buy, confirm an expiry date, or find nameservers during a transfer. We do not display home addresses or private emails.

What you get

Registration status

See if the name is registered and whether it is locked, held or pending a transfer.

Expiry date

Plan a renewal before the term ends so the name does not drop and become available to someone else.

Nameservers

Confirm where DNS is pointed before you move hosting or start a transfer.

Registrar

The company that currently holds the name. You request an auth code from them to transfer.

How it works

  1. Enter the full name

    Type example.com, not only the brand. Include the ending.

  2. Read the record

    Dates, status and nameservers come from the public RDAP directory, not from a guess.

  3. Buy or transfer

    If there is no record, search to register it. If it is taken, transfer it here when you hold the auth code.
