Domain Whois
Live registration data from RDAP — the modern structured replacement for whois. Bootstrapped through rdap.org, which routes the query to the correct registry RDAP server based on TLD.
Most gTLDs (.com, .net, .org, .io, etc.) and many ccTLDs support RDAP. ICANN-mandated for all gTLDs since 2023.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is RDAP and how is it different from WHOIS?
RDAP is the modern, structured (JSON) replacement for legacy text WHOIS. It returns consistent, machine-readable fields and supports standardized access and internationalization.
What does a status code like clientTransferProhibited mean?
These are EPP status codes set by the registrar or registry. clientTransferProhibited blocks transfers as an anti-hijack safeguard; pendingDelete means the domain is heading toward release.
Why is some registrant contact data redacted?
Since GDPR, registrars commonly redact personal contact details in public RDAP and WHOIS. Registrar and technical data stay visible, but personal information is withheld or proxied.
