FIND A REGISTRAR
WHOIS NOTICE

As Registry and in accordance with the French Post and Electronic Communication
Law, Afnic has to collect from registrars the data needed to identify domain
name holders in order to constitute the whois database (whois database).

The whois database is protected by the provisions of the French Law of the 1st
of July 1998 transposing the European Directive of the 11th of March 1996 on
database legal protection in the Intellectual Property Code.

The French state is the only entity to hold the producing rights of the
databases as substantial investment, quantitative as much as qualitative, that
were used to achieve this database. Afnic has the license to use and protect the
rights on the whois database. Complete or partial reproduction and/or use of the
AFNIC's database without the express permission of the AFNIC is strictly
forbidden. Afnic reserves the right to initiate any procedure of any kind to
protect the database whois from fraudulent uses.

Any breach to these rules can carry penal sanctions as counterfeit, without
prejudice of a potential damages request from the AFNIC. The whois database user
commits to use the published data according to the laws and rules in effect.
Moreover, the user is bound to respect the personal data protection framework
and in particular, the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and
of the Council of 27 April 2016 applicable from 25 May 2018 (hereinafter 'the
European Data Protection Regulation "or" GDPR"). The infringement of the
personal data protection framework can carry penal sanctions. As the user will
access personal information, the user must refrain from collecting or misuse
this information. In a more general way, the user must refrain from any act
likely to infringe the privacy or reputation of individuals.


ARRAY

The specific search engine for the domain name database, Whois, the contraction
of “Who is?”, contains administrative and technical information associated with
a domain name.

WHOIS: THE DATABASE OF DOMAIN NAMES AND HOLDERS

Whether you’re looking for information on an existing domain name or looking to
register one, the Whois database is the indispensable tool that enables you to: 

 * Instantly test the availability of a domain name or its alternative
   spellings;
 * View useful information on a name that has already been registered: holder,
   administrative contact and technical contact, registrar, expiry date of the
   current registration and associated technical parameters (website,
   nameservers, etc.).

The domain name allows the identity of a brand, a person or even a project to be
expressed on the internet. We therefore recommend that you take your time in
checking the available addresses and testing the spelling variants before taking
the plunge. For businesses, it is customary to reserve several names (with a
hyphen or accent, for example) in order to protect a brand, since the
‘first-come-first-served’ rule applies to domain names.
