Whois Lookup (Domain & IP — RDAP)

Look up who a domain or IP is registered to: registrar, creation and expiry dates, status and name servers — via the modern RDAP protocol.

Data: RDAP (official registries via rdap.org) — queried from your browser. Personal registrant data is redacted at the source (GDPR).

Whois, the Modern Way

Enter a domain (or an IP address) and get its registration data: registrar, creation / expiry / last-update dates, status codes (with plain-language meaning) and the authoritative name servers. For IPs you get the owning network and regional registry instead.

The data comes over RDAP — the IETF's structured successor to the old port-43 whois — queried straight from your browser via the rdap.org bootstrap, which routes each query to the official registry. Since GDPR, personal registrant details are redacted by the registries themselves; what remains (dates, registrar, status, name servers) is exactly what you need to judge a domain's age, expiry risk and transfer lock state.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I see the owner's name and email?

Since 2018 (GDPR), registries and registrars redact personal data from public registration records at the source. Businesses sometimes remain visible; individuals almost never. This is true of every whois service, not just this one.

What do status codes like clientTransferProhibited mean?

They are EPP status flags: clientTransferProhibited = transfer-locked at the registrar (good, prevents hijacking); clientHold/serverHold = removed from DNS; pendingDelete = about to drop. The tool annotates the common ones.

Which domains are supported?

All generic TLDs (.com, .net, .org, the new gTLDs) and most country codes that operate RDAP. A few ccTLDs still lack public RDAP service — those return "no data" here.
