What is domain name whois information?
Domain name Whois information is a database containing registration information for an internet domain name. This information typically includes the owner of the domain name, registration date, last update date, DNS server information, and contact details.
Whois information can be used by individuals who want to find out who registered any domain name or who owns it. Additionally, a domain name owner can communicate with other internet users through the contact information provided in Whois records.
The Whois information for a domain name is typically managed by the domain name registrar and is publicly available. However, some individuals, especially private individuals or organizations, may prefer to keep their Whois information private, and an additional service called "Whois privacy" is offered for this purpose.
