Frequently Asked Questions
What is a WHOIS lookup?
WHOIS is a protocol used to query databases that store information about registered domain names. A WHOIS lookup shows who registered a domain, when it was registered, when it expires, and which nameservers it uses.
Why does WHOIS show limited information?
Since GDPR came into effect in 2018, many registrars redact personal information from WHOIS records to protect registrant privacy. Business registrations often show more detail than individual registrations.
What do the domain status codes mean?
clientTransferProhibited means the domain cannot be transferred to another registrar without the owner's authorization. serverDeleteProhibited means the registry has locked the domain against deletion. These locks protect domains from unauthorized changes.
What is DNSSEC?
DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) adds cryptographic signatures to DNS records to prevent DNS spoofing attacks. A domain showing 'unsigned' means DNSSEC is not enabled, which is common but less secure than signed domains.
How do I check if a domain is available to register?
If a WHOIS lookup returns no registration data or shows the domain as available, it is likely unregistered. However, the most reliable way is to check directly with a domain registrar.
