Find domain registration details, registrar info, and more
You’ve stumbled across a cool domain name and want to know who owns it. Or maybe you’re getting weird traffic from an IP address and need to figure out where it’s coming from. That’s exactly what our WHOIS lookup tool is for.
Just type in any domain name or IP address, hit search, and we’ll dig up everything publicly available about it—who registered it, when it expires, where it’s hosted, and how to contact the owner (if they haven’t hidden behind privacy protection).
No tricks, no email signup walls, no premium upsells. Just straightforward domain intelligence at your fingertips.
Think of WHOIS as the internet’s phone book, except instead of looking up people, you’re looking up domains and IP addresses.
Back in the late 1970s, when the internet was just a handful of computers talking to each other, someone had the bright idea to keep track of who owned what. That system evolved into what we now call WHOIS—a simple protocol that lets anyone query a massive database to find out registration details.
Every time someone registers a domain, they’re supposed to provide contact information: name, email, phone number, organization. All of that gets stored in a registry database. When you use our tool, you’re essentially asking that database, “Hey, who’s behind this domain?”
Here’s what you’ll typically find:
You’re eyeing a domain name Maybe you found the perfect domain for your startup, but someone already owns it. A WHOIS search tells you when it expires, so you can set a reminder to grab it if they don’t renew. You can also sometimes find contact info to make an offer directly.
Someone’s domain caught your attention Found an interesting website and curious about who’s behind it? WHOIS shows you the owner (unless masked), when they started the site, and how serious they are based on registration length. Fly-by-night operations often register for just one year.
You’re dealing with something sketchy Getting spam emails? Suspicious links? Phishing attempts? Look up the domain or IP address to see who’s behind it. If it’s registered anonymously last week with a sketchy hosting provider, that’s a massive red flag. You can then report abuse to their hosting company or ISP.
You’re protecting your brand Someone registered a domain that’s suspiciously similar to yours? WHOIS helps you identify potential trademark violations and get contact info for cease-and-desist notices. It’s also useful for tracking down copycats and typosquatters.
You’re troubleshooting tech issues Sometimes websites break because of DNS problems. A quick WHOIS lookup shows you what nameservers a domain is using, helping you figure out where things went wrong. It’s like checking under the hood before calling a mechanic.
You’re investigating security threats Cybersecurity folks use WHOIS constantly. If a weird domain is communicating with your network, WHOIS reveals patterns—like dozens of shady domains registered by the same person or organization. That’s gold for threat intelligence.
Step 1: Type the domain name (like “google.com”) or IP address (like “8.8.8.8”) into the search box above.
Step 2: Click the search button and wait a second or two.
Step 3: Boom. You’ve got your results.
We pull data directly from the official registries, so you’re getting the real deal—not some outdated cached copy from six months ago. The information you see is what’s currently on file.
You can search anything: traditional domains (.com, .net, .org), new fancy extensions (.io, .ai, .xyz), country-specific domains (.uk, .de, .jp), even subdomains and international domain names in different languages.
Ever done a WHOIS search and found something like “REDACTED FOR PRIVACY” instead of actual contact details? Yeah, that’s privacy protection at work.
Here’s the deal: when WHOIS was created, privacy wasn’t really a concern. But as the internet grew, domain owners started getting bombarded with spam, sales calls, and worse. So registrars began offering privacy services that mask your real information.
When you enable privacy protection (sometimes called “Domain Privacy” or “WHOIS Guard”), the registrar replaces your personal details with their own contact information. You still own the domain—your info just isn’t publicly visible.
Why do people hide their info?
Why do some people leave it public?
Since GDPR and other privacy laws kicked in, you’ll notice a lot more hidden data than before. European domains especially tend to have limited public information now.
Domains aren’t the only thing you can search. IP addresses tell a different story.
Every device connected to the internet has an IP address—think of it as a digital home address. When you look up an IP with WHOIS, you’re finding out who controls that chunk of the internet.
You’ll typically discover:
This is incredibly useful when you’re tracking down where traffic is coming from, investigating a server that’s hammering your website, or reporting abuse to the right people.
The internet is divided into five regional registries that manage IP addresses for different parts of the world:
Our tool queries the appropriate registry automatically, so you don’t need to figure out which one to check.
Beyond the basics, WHOIS data reveals some interesting patterns if you know what to look for:
Domain age matters. A domain registered 10 years ago is generally more trustworthy than one registered last Tuesday. Scammers rarely invest in long-term domains.
Bulk registrations are telling. When someone registers hundreds of similar domains at once, they’re either protecting a brand or up to something shady. WHOIS patterns reveal this.
Status codes reveal a lot. See “clientTransferProhibited” or “serverLock”? That domain is locked down tight—not going anywhere. “PendingDelete” means it’s about to become available.
Registrar choices matter. Some registrars are known for harboring spam operations. Others are used by Fortune 500 companies. The registrar itself is a trust signal.
Update patterns are interesting. If WHOIS info gets updated frequently, something’s happening—maybe the domain is being prepared for sale, or there’s legal pressure.
How fresh is this data? Very. We query the registries in real-time, so you’re seeing current information. However, if someone just updated their domain details, it might take 24-48 hours to propagate everywhere.
Can I hide my own domain info? Absolutely. When you register a domain, most registrars offer privacy protection for a small fee (sometimes it’s free). Enable it, and your personal details get masked with the registrar’s info instead.
Is this legal to use? Totally. WHOIS is public information by design. It exists specifically so people can look up domain details. Just don’t use it for harassment, spam, or anything shady—that’s where legality gets murky.
What if I can’t find the owner’s contact info? Many domains now use privacy services, especially after GDPR. If you legitimately need to contact the owner, most privacy services offer a forwarding mechanism—send an email through them, and they’ll pass it along.
Can WHOIS data be wrong? Sometimes, yeah. People provide fake information (technically against the rules), registrars make errors, or data just gets outdated. Take it with a grain of salt, especially for sketchy domains.
Why do some domains show more info than others? Different domain extensions (TLDs) have different rules. Country-code domains (.uk, .de) often have stricter privacy policies. New extensions (.io, .xyz) vary wildly. And registrars implement privacy protection differently.
Look, WHOIS data is powerful. With great power comes… you know the rest.
Just because you can look up someone’s contact information doesn’t mean you should harass them. This tool exists for legitimate purposes: research, security, business inquiries, legal matters.
Using WHOIS data to spam people, stalk them, or commit fraud isn’t just unethical—it’s often illegal and violates various internet governance policies.
So use this tool responsibly. Investigate domains when you need to. Research before you buy. Protect yourself from threats. Report actual abuse. But respect people’s privacy when they’ve chosen to protect it.
Scroll back up, type in the domain or IP address you’re curious about, and let’s find out what the internet knows. Whether you’re shopping for domains, investigating suspicious activity, or just satisfying your curiosity, you’ll have answers in seconds.
No registration. No payment. No BS. Just straightforward domain intelligence.
