WHOis Database and WHois Lookup

What is WHOis Database?
  • The Whois databse is repository of information associated with registered domain names.
  • It provides domain name information, such as the registrar of record, and its various contacts (registrant, billing, administrative and technical).
  • Information returned includes: contact email; registrant; registrar; administrative contacts; name servers; date creation; last update on date; and expiration date.

How does the Whois database work?
  • The WHOIS database contains contact and registration information for every domain registered with a particular registrar.
  • WHOIS databases are maintained by individual registrars and not by central registry.
  • For this reason they are not always fully up-to date. Most of the systems are updated every 24 hours, which means the results that they return can be up to 47 hours out of date.
  • When you register a domain name with us, we pass on the contact details to the WHOIS. These will then be publicly available through WHOIS services.
