WHOIS / Domain Lookup

Look up a domain's registrar, dates and status via RDAP.

WHOIS / Domain Lookup checks who a domain was registered through, when it was created, and when it expires, in real time. It summarizes the registrar, the registration, expiration and last-changed dates, the domain status codes, and the delegated nameservers at a glance.

Instead of the legacy WHOIS protocol, this tool uses the standardized RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol). RDAP responds in structured JSON, so parsing is reliable and the data comes straight from the official registry and registrar sources. Just enter a domain — no protocol or path needed.

Domaine.g. example.com (domain only, no protocol or path)

What it shows

Registrar: the company that sells and manages the domain (e.g. GoDaddy, Cloudflare)
Registration date: when the domain was first created
Expiration date: when the registration lapses unless renewed
Last changed: when the registration record was last updated
Status codes: EPP states such as clientTransferProhibited or clientHold
Nameservers: the servers responsible for the domain's DNS (see live delegation with NS Check)

Reading status codes

EPP status codes describe the locks and restrictions on a domain. For example, clientTransferProhibited is a protective lock that blocks unauthorized transfers and is a normal security setting. By contrast, clientHold or serverHold can mean the domain is temporarily deactivated and deserves a closer look. Decode each code's meaning and severity in detail with the EPP Domain Status Code Decoder.

WHOIS versus RDAP

Classic WHOIS is free-form text that varies by registrar and lost much of its content after privacy masking. RDAP is a consistent JSON standard. Even when registrant personal data is redacted under rules like GDPR, the core metadata — registrar, dates and status — remains reliably available.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the registrant (owner) name missing?

Under privacy rules like GDPR, registrant personal data is redacted for most domains. This tool shows only the public registrar, date, status and nameserver metadata.

Does it work for every TLD?

Most TLDs that publish RDAP are supported. Some country-code TLDs lack an RDAP server or limit data, so results may be empty.

Can the expiration date be inaccurate?

It reflects what the registry reports and may lag right after a renewal or transfer. Always confirm billing and renewal status in your registrar account.

Is the domain I enter stored?

No. The query is forwarded to standard RDAP services and only a summary is returned. Results are cached temporarily for at most 120 seconds.
