FAQ Q: What information can I get from a WHOIS lookup? A: WHOIS lookups provide domain registration details including the registrar, registration date, expiration date, name servers, and status. Some information may be hidden by privacy protection services. Q: Why is contact information hidden? A: Many domain owners use privacy protection services (WHOIS Privacy, Domain Privacy) to hide their personal contact information from public WHOIS records. This is a common and legitimate practice. Q: How accurate is WHOIS information? A: WHOIS information is generally accurate and updated in real-time from domain registry databases. However, privacy protection may limit the amount of visible information. Q: Can I look up any domain extension? A: Yes, our tool supports all major domain extensions including .com, .net, .org, .io, country-code TLDs (ccTLDs), and new generic TLDs (gTLDs). Q: What does "clientTransferProhibited" mean? A: This status indicates that the domain cannot be transferred to another registrar without the owner first removing this lock. It's a security feature to prevent unauthorized transfers. Q: How often is WHOIS data updated? A: WHOIS data is updated in real-time. When you perform a lookup, you're querying the current information from the domain registry. Q: What is DNSSEC? A: DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) adds an extra layer of security to DNS by digitally signing DNS data. It helps prevent DNS spoofing attacks. Q: Can I see when a domain will expire? A: Yes, the expiration date field shows when the current registration period ends. Domain owners typically renew before this date. Q: What if the lookup fails? A: Lookup failures can occur if the domain doesn't exist, has just been registered, or if there are network issues. Try again in a few moments or verify the domain name is correct. Q: Is there a bulk lookup feature? A: WHOIS Lookup is designed for single domain queries. Ultimate plan users can use our API for programmatic access to perform multiple lookups.

Troubleshooting Problem: "Domain not found" error Solution: Verify the domain name is spelled correctly and includes the proper extension (.com, .net, etc.) Problem: Lookup is slow Solution: WHOIS queries can take a few seconds depending on the domain registry. Please wait for the request to complete. Problem: Limited information returned Solution: The domain owner may be using privacy protection services, which hide contact details. Registration dates and registrar information should still be visible. Problem: "Invalid domain format" error Solution: Ensure you're entering a valid domain name format (e.g., example.com, not https://example.com/ or just "example") Problem: Cannot export results Solution: Export features are available to Pro and Ultimate users.
