Why it matters

Why a WHOIS lookup is useful

WHOIS is indispensable for anyone who works with websites, promotes projects online or buys and analyzes domain names.

It is handy for everyday users too: before buying from an online store or booking a service, it is worth checking how old the domain is and who owns it. Businesses use lookups to research competitors' domains, and lawyers use them to check the legal standing of online projects.

What WHOIS tells you:

  • Domain age: a website may look new while its domain was registered many years ago
  • Registrar: the company the domain was registered through
  • When the registration expires, and whether the domain may become available soon
  • Whether the domain is available and can be registered right now

WHOIS: what kind of service it is

Simply put, WHOIS is a system that stores the registration data of domain names. When you register a domain, this information goes into a public database. Anyone can see who the registrar is, how old the domain is and when its registration expires.

For many business owners this is a way to avoid mistakes: once you know how WHOIS works, it is easier to spot a suspicious website and avoid buying a problematic domain.

How the lookup works

No technical knowledge is required. Enter a domain name and see the result in a couple of seconds. If the domain is available, you will get a message and can proceed to registration. If it is taken, the registration data will be shown.

Sometimes the owner's information is hidden, especially in international domain zones. However, the basic details (registrar, dates and status) are always available.
