Free WHOIS Lookup
View registrar, creation and expiry dates, name servers, and registration data via RDAP — the modern replacement for legacy WHOIS.
How it works
Enter a domain
Any TLD that participates in RDAP — which is most modern gTLDs and many ccTLDs.
We query via rdap.org
rdap.org handles registry bootstrap so each TLD is routed to its authoritative RDAP server.
Read the registration data
Registrar, status, all event dates, name servers — parsed and labeled.
Frequently asked questions
Why are the registrant details missing?+
Since GDPR (2018), most gTLDs redact contact details by default. You'll see registrar info and dates, but personal data is typically only available via a tiered access request.
What's the difference between WHOIS and RDAP?+
RDAP is the structured, HTTPS-based successor to WHOIS. Same data, JSON instead of free-form text, with consistent fields across registries. ICANN sunset WHOIS for gTLDs in 2025.
My TLD isn't supported — why?+
Some ccTLDs (.au, .uk, .br variants) still rely on legacy WHOIS or registry-specific APIs and aren't routed through the IANA bootstrap. For those you need a dedicated lookup against the registry.
Why is the 'Last updated' date so recent?+
Some registries update the WHOIS/RDAP timestamp whenever they re-sign DNSSEC or re-publish records — not just when the registrant changes data. Treat it as 'when the registry record was last touched'.
