WHOIS
(Who Is)
WHOIS is a protocol used to query databases that store information about domain names, IP addresses, and the entities that own or manage them. It provides details such as registration dates, contact information, and domain status.
WHOIS is essential for domain management, cybersecurity, and legal compliance. It helps identify domain owners, troubleshoot network issues, and investigate malicious activities. However, due to privacy concerns, many registrars now offer redacted WHOIS information. Despite this, WHOIS remains a valuable tool for maintaining transparency and accountability in the domain name system (DNS).
