What is a WHOIS lookup? A WHOIS lookup allows you to find out
information about a domain name that is already registered.
WHOIS is a protocol used to find information about networks,
domains and hosts. All domain names have a WHOIS record, which
will usually provide the following details: - The domainís
registrar of record. - Contact details for the domainís owner,
as well as administrative, billing and technical contacts. - The
expiry date of the domain. - The status of the domain. This
information can be useful if you wish to contact the owner of
the domain you are interested in with an offer to purchase.
