All free toolsWhat is the difference between whois and
Whois lookup
Enter a domain to see its registrar, key dates and name servers.
This tool reads RDAP, the structured successor to whois. Registries publish the data themselves, in a consistent format.
Personal contact details are usually hidden for privacy, so this page shows the registrar, dates, status and name servers.
Questions
What is the difference between whois and RDAP?
Both show domain registration data. RDAP returns structured data over HTTPS, while classic whois returns free-form text.
Why is there no owner name?
Most registries hide personal details for privacy, so RDAP often has no owner to show.
