Raw Registry Response
WHOIS records are retrieved directly from accredited registries. We respect privacy protection flags.
WHOIS is a public query protocol that retrieves domain registration records maintained by accredited registrars and Top-Level Domain (TLD) registries. It reveals who registered a domain, when it was registered, when it expires, and which nameservers host its DNS.
ToolDuck queries registry servers directly over port 43 with automated referral chasing, presenting clean parsed fields alongside the raw registry output.
How to use this tool
- Enter the domain name (e.g. example.com, toolduck.in, or github.com).
- Click Lookup to query the authoritative registry.
- Review the registrar, registration date, expiration date, nameservers, and status codes.
WHOIS privacy and GDPR compliance
Historically, WHOIS exposed personal phone numbers, physical addresses, and registrant names. Following GDPR regulations and the adoption of WHOIS privacy proxy services, individual personal details are routinely redacted or shielded.
ToolDuck strictly respects registrant privacy flags. We never attempt to circumvent privacy shields or scrape personal contact information.
Understanding EPP domain status codes
Standard Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) status codes describe a domain's operational state. Common codes include clientTransferProhibited (preventing unauthorized registrar transfers), clientDeleteProhibited, and serverHold (domain suspended by registry).
A domain marked clientTransferProhibited is properly protected against domain hijacking.
Frequently asked questions
Can I find the owner's personal email address?
Only if the registrant opted not to use privacy protection and the TLD registry publishes it. For most modern domains, contact information is redacted in accordance with international privacy laws.
How accurate are the expiration dates?
The expiration date reported is the official registry expiry date recorded in the authoritative TLD registry database.
