Check a domain name's availability
If you want to know the availability of a domain name, use our WHOIS lookup API and we'll let you know if the domain is available, or not.
Learn when a domain will expire
If you want to buy a domain, knowing when it expires is helpful. As the date approaches the owner may want to sell, or better yet, let it expire — and you're right there to scoop it up.
Find a domain owner
Whether you want to buy a domain or learn who owns it, use our WHOIS lookup API. Enter the domain name and you'll get key info, including availability, ownership, creation, and expiration.
WHOIS is a database that consists of mandatory information about a registered domain, or more precisely, the registered users of an Internet resource. A WHOIS information lookup is how we can find a wider range of information on a domain name, an IP address block and the domain availability status. ICANN maintains the database and updates it regularly to help prevent fraud and identity theft.
