WHOIS is a standardized protocol querying databases that store registered users or assignees of an Internet resource, such as domain names and IP address blocks. It provides critical operational and security intelligence.
Normal
Domain is fully operational and delegated
Protected
Registrar lock active against unauthorized transfers
Critical
Domain expired; owner must pay restoration fee before public release
A WHOIS query returns domain creation, update, and expiration dates, registrar name, registrar WHOIS server, domain status codes, and authoritative nameservers. Personal registrant details may be redacted under privacy laws (GDPR).
To comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA, most domain registrars now apply proxy privacy services that redact personal emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses from public records.
If a domain is in the redemption period (typically 30 days after expiration), contact the registrar immediately to pay the redemption fee before the domain enters pending-delete status and becomes available for public re-registration.
