What is a WHOIS Lookup?

**WHOIS** is a query and response protocol that is widely used for querying databases that store the registered users or assignees of an Internet resource, such as a domain name or an IP address block. A **WHOIS lookup** allows you to see the administrative and technical contact information associated with a domain.

Domain Expiration & Security

Checking the WHOIS record is the most reliable way to find out when a domain name is set to expire. For security professionals, WHOIS data is also used to identify potential phishing domains and track the history of an IP address.

Privacy Protection (WHOIS Guard)

Due to GDPR and other privacy regulations, many domain owners use "Privacy Protection" services. This masks their personal contact information (email, phone number, address) with generic data from the registrar to prevent spam and identity theft.

Common WHOIS Status Codes

addPeriod: The domain was recently registered and is in the initial grace period.
