WHOIS lookup: what does it do?

What is WHOIS lookup?

[Jamie Lee]

WHOIS is an Internet record listing which is used to recognize the proprietor of the domain and how to interact with them.

[Emerson Abby]

The domain name registration and the proprietorship are handled by the (ICANN) Internet Corporation for the Assigned Names and Numbers.

[River Brown]

A thorough profile of the searched domain is acquired using the WHOIS tool.

Can someone list a few WHOIS tools?

[Aaron Martin]

Yes, even I would like to tell you about some of the top tools out there.
The tools are as follows:
a) Bulk WHOIS Lookup
b) Network Solutions
c) GoDaddy
d) DomainIQ
e) Domain.com

[Clara Smith]

These records are very important and have become a necessary source for integrating domain name registration and proprietorship.

[Jamie Lee]

Whenever you purchase a domain, Google Domains is required by ICANN to publish your name and other contact details in the WHOIS directory.

[River Brown]

The WHOIS directory is accessible to everyone, anyone can always access the published contact information.

[Hazel Williams]

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers receives the information when someone registers a domain (ICANN). A portion of the data is visible in the public WHOIS database. One can get access to it by using WHOIS lookup services.
