About WHOIS

What is WHOIS?

WHOIS is a public database protocol that stores the registration information of every domain name on the internet. When a domain is registered, the registrant's information is stored in this database and made publicly accessible โ€” unless WHOIS Privacy protection is enabled.

Registrant Details

Owner name, organization, country, and contact information for the domain registrant.

Important Dates

Registration date, last updated date, and expiration date โ€” know when the domain will expire.

Nameservers

DNS nameserver records showing where the domain's DNS is currently hosted and managed.

Registrar Info

The company through which the domain was registered, along with their IANA ID and abuse contact.

Why Use WHOIS?

Common Uses of WHOIS Lookup

WHOIS data is used by businesses, developers, security researchers, and individuals for a wide range of legitimate purposes โ€” from verifying ownership to protecting brands.

Brand Protection
Monitor who has registered domains similar to your brand.
Spam Investigation
Identify the source of spam emails or phishing sites.
Domain Purchase
Find out who owns a domain before making a purchase offer.
Expiry Tracking
Check when a domain expires so you can register it when available.
Domain Status Codes

Understanding WHOIS Status Codes

Every domain has one or more status codes. Here's what the most common ones mean:

clientTransferProhibited

The domain cannot be transferred to another registrar. This is the most common status and is applied by default for security.

clientUpdateProhibited

The domain's registrant info cannot be updated. Protects against unauthorized contact information changes.

clientDeleteProhibited

The domain cannot be deleted at the registrar level. An extra layer of protection against accidental or malicious deletion.

active

The domain is registered and fully active. DNS is resolving and the domain is fully operational.

redemptionPeriod

The domain has expired and is in a 30-day grace period. The owner can still renew it (with a fee) before it becomes available to others.

pendingDelete

The domain is scheduled to be deleted within 5 days and will then become available for public registration.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A WHOIS lookup queries a public database to retrieve registration information for a specific domain name. It shows who owns the domain, when it was registered, when it expires, which registrar was used, and what nameservers it's pointed to.

When a domain owner has enabled WHOIS Privacy Protection, their personal details (name, address, phone, email) are hidden from the public database and replaced with the registrar's proxy information. This is a standard privacy feature that SkyHostBD offers for free on all registered domains.

Yes, WHOIS lookup is 100% free to use. You can search as many domains as you like with no limits or registration required. Our tool uses the official RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) โ€” the modern successor to the traditional WHOIS protocol.

WHOIS lookup works for registered domains. If a domain returns "not found", it is likely available for registration. For a definitive availability check and instant registration, use our Domain Search tool instead.

Since GDPR came into effect in 2018, many registrars โ€” especially in Europe โ€” are required to redact personal information from public WHOIS records to comply with data protection laws. This means personal data like name, address, and email may not appear even when WHOIS privacy is not explicitly enabled by the domain owner.
