Overview
WHOIS is used to look up records in the registry
database. Whois can provide information about domains, nameservers,
and registrars.
Enter a string to search the database.
WHOIS displays the results in one of two ways:
as a full, detailed display one or line summaries for single/multiple
matches.
Specify only part of the search string to perform
a "partial" search on domain.
Every domain STARTING with the string will
be found. A trailing dot (or dots) after your text or the Partial keyword
indicates a partial search. For example, entering 'mack.' will find
"Mack", "Mackall", "Mackay", and so on.
Keywords
WHOIS keywords fall into categories: those
that specify the TYPE of records to search, those that modify the interpretation
of the input or tell the type of output to produce, and those that are
commands such as HELP or QUIT.
The following keywords restrict a search to
a certain TYPE of field in the database:
- domain
Finds a domain record. Find out domain name, registrar name,
whois server and URL, Nameserver name and IP Addresses, and updated
date. For example, "www.verisign.com".
- nameserver
Finds nameserver records. Find out nameserver name, registrar name,
IP addresses, Whois Server name and URL. For example, 'nameserver NS.VERISIGN.COM'
or 'nameserver 101.198.1.101'.
- registrar
Finds records for "registrar". Find out Registrar name, mail
address, phone number and contact information. For example, 'registrar
ABC Registrar, Inc.'

A summary of the
matching record is shown and the sub-display follows directly after.
