As the global domain leaders, we have over 100 domain brokers with 82+ million
domains under management, plus partnerships with the leading domain registrars.




UNPARALLELED KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE.

Each of our brokers across the globe has expertise in their regions. That means
they can negotiate on your behalf like no other and get you the lowest price.




PRIVACY AND SECURITY WITH EVERY DOMAIN.

While we negotiate your identity stays anonymous, so you won’t overpay and your

domain.





CHECK A DOMAIN NAME'S AVAILABILITY

If you want to know the availability of a domain name, simply type the name into
GoDaddy's WHOIS search field and we'll let you know if the domain is available,
or not.




FIND A DOMAIN OWNER

Whether you want to buy a domain or learn who owns it, use our WHOIS search
field. Enter the domain name and you'll get key info, including availability,
ownership, creation, and expiration.




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.





FAQ


WHO OWNS A DOMAIN NAME?

A domain name can be legally owned or held by any person, entity or
organization, also known as domain registrant, who must keep registration fees
up-to-date and contact details current in WHOIS database. 


WHAT IS THE WHOIS DATABASE?

The WHOIS domain database is a listing of all registered domains with the
contact details of their corresponding owners. It is regularly used for various
legal purposes. Network administrators use the WHOIS lookup to identify and fix
problems. For instance, WHOIS information can be used to check domain name
availability, identify trademark infringement, and keep domain name registrants
accountable. 

WHOIS verification can even be utilized to combat spam or fraud, as
administrators can track down registrants who post illegal content or
participate in phishing scams. In addition, the agreements from the
International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) protects domain
registrants by prohibiting the use of WHOIS listings for marketing or spam
purposes, including high-volume, automated queries against a specific registrar
or registry system (unless such queries are done with the intent to manage
domain names).


HOW DO I USE THE WHOIS LOOKUP TOOL?

To use the GoDaddy WHOIS lookup tool, just enter the domain name whose
information you’d like to view into the search field on the WHOIS main page. You
can retrieve key data about a domain in this way, including availability, domain
owner lookup, and creation and expiration details. If you own multiple domains
of your own, it can be helpful to download exportable lists from the tool in
order to analyze large amounts of domains data.


HOW ACCURATE IS WHOIS DATA?

ICANN provides guidelines designed to keep the WHOIS database as accurate as
possible. Since registrants’ contact data can change, registrars such as GoDaddy
must provide annual opportunities for domain owners to review and edit their
WHOIS domain data. According to ICANN’s rules, refusing to update this
information or providing false data can lead to the suspension or cancellation
of domains. 

In addition, ICANN allows internet users to file complaints if they discover
WHOIS domain name lookup data that is incorrect or incomplete. In such
instances, registrars must correct and verify the data in a timely manner.
Through this verification protocol, ICANN seeks to maintain the highest possible
level of accuracy. 


HOW DO I UPDATE MY WHOIS INFORMATION?

You can update your WHOIS contact information in the Domain Manager of your
GoDaddy account. It only takes a few simple steps, and you can update all your
contacts at once, or just one at a time. It’s important to always keep your
contact information up to date, both to comply with ICANN regulations and to
make certain you’re receiving WHOIS correspondence at the correct email
address. 


WHO’S IN CHARGE OF THE WHOIS DATABASE?

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is in charge of
all things related to a WHOIS lookup. The organization launched in 1998 because
the internet had grown to a point where a formal organization was necessary to
handle all the maintenance and procedures involved with keeping the world
online. 

As of 2016, ICANN operates the WHOIS check free of oversight by any country and
today exists as nonprofit corporation based in Los Angeles. ICANN is managed by
a 16-member board with representation from all over the world. ICANN also
receives input from numerous internet-related organizations, such as
communications providers. 


WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO HAVE A WHOIS DATABASE?

The ability to find domain info quickly and accurately is important for a couple
main reasons: 

1. A WHOIS check is essential for people in the business of buying and selling
domains. These individuals (called “domainers”) need a method of communication
for their transactions. A WHOIS search will provide one or more methods for
reaching the current owner of a web address. 

2. The WHOIS database is a way to maintain accountability for people who operate
online. For example, if you felt someone was using your trademarks on their
website, the WHOIS database provides a number of ways to resolve that dispute.
