How to Use the WHOIS Lookup
- Enter a domain name (e.g.
example.com). - Click Lookup WHOIS to query the public WHOIS database.
- Review the registrar, creation date, expiry date, nameservers and raw data.
What is WHOIS?
WHOIS is a public database that stores domain registration details. It's useful for:
- Checking if a domain is available before buying
- Finding the registrar or hosting provider
- Seeing when a domain expires (useful for monitoring)
- Identifying the nameservers (DNS hosting)
API Integration
This tool is also available as a free API. Send a POST request to /api/whois with a JSON body containing the domain field. The response includes parsed fields (registrar, dates, nameservers, status, DNSSEC) plus the raw WHOIS text. Rate limited to 30 requests per minute.
Privacy: Only the domain name you enter is sent to the server. No data is stored.
