Enter any domain name to see its full public whois record — registrar, registration and expiry dates, nameservers, status codes, DNSSEC and contact details — free instant lookup, no sign-up, no limits on what you check.
A whois lookup is a query against the public registration record of a domain name. Every time a domain is registered or transferred, the registry and registrar store details such as the registration date, expiry date, assigned nameservers and the registrant's contact information — and the whois protocol (now increasingly RDAP, the Registration Data Access Protocol) is how anyone can read that record.
Our free tool does the lookup instantly in your browser: it normalises the domain you type, queries the public RDAP service, and returns the parsed record as a clean table — no software to install, no account to create, and nothing to pay.
Every domain's public record carries the same core fields — here is what each one means and why it matters.
The accredited company through which the domain was registered — useful for verifying legitimacy and for contacting the right party about abuse or a sale.
When the domain was first registered and when it expires. Age is a strong trust signal — and an expiring domain may soon become available again.
The servers answering DNS queries for the domain. Changes here often reveal migrations, parked domains or infrastructure moves.
ICANN status flags such as clientTransferProhibited, ok or redemptionPeriod — telling you whether the domain is locked, expired or in recovery.
Whether the domain's DNS is signed with DNSSEC — a yes/no security signal researchers check when assessing a domain's hardening.
Name, organisation, email and country of the owner — visible when published, or replaced by a privacy service that masks the real contact.
From domain deals to threat hunting — the same public record, applied differently.
Check a domain's age, expiry and registrar before making an offer — and spot domains that are about to drop.
Pivot on nameservers and status changes during investigations — the first step in mapping related infrastructure.
Identify a cybersquatter's registrar and record details before filing a UDRP complaint or takedown request.
Vet expired domains before rebuilding them, and verify ownership when auditing link partners or outreach targets.
The free tool answers one domain at a time. When you need thousands of records a day, our database is built for that.
How the free tool works, what it returns, and where privacy rules change what you can see.
Yes — completely free. There is no account to create, no daily search limit and no credit card involved. The tool queries the public RDAP service directly from your browser, so every lookup costs you nothing.
For each domain you check, the tool returns the registrar name, registration date, expiration date, last update date, domain status codes, assigned nameservers, DNSSEC state, and the registrant's details when they are published in the public record.
Many registrants enable WHOIS privacy, which replaces their real name, email and address with a proxy identity. Since the public record then contains the proxy instead of the person, our tool honestly reports the record as redacted. Our full database clients receive records that our team has manually cleaned of these privacy placeholders.
The lookup reads the live public record, so you always see what the registry currently holds. Updates depend on when the registrar pushes changes — most registrations and transfers appear within minutes to hours. For bulk needs, our historical whois database stores dated snapshots so you can see how a record looked in the past.
The tool works for any domain published in RDAP — covering 1,500+ TLDs including .com, .net, .org, .in, .co, .io, .uk, .de and hundreds of country codes. Just enter the domain as it is (e.g. example.co.uk), without http:// or www.
Only if you need many records at once. The free lookup is ideal for checking one domain at a time. If you need daily files of newly registered domains, full parsed contact sets, or years of historical changes, our free 1-day trial gives you panel access to test the real data first.
