Domain Name Lookup
Whois domain lookups are much slower than dns queries but provide more information about who registered the name.
Domain name lookup. Your website name will either be available or taken. Search domain availability or expiration. Your whois lookup results will reveal who or what entity owns or manages that domain name including their contact information such as name phone number and address.
Similar to how all houses are registered with a governing authority all domain name registries maintain a record of information about every domain name purchased through them along with who owns it and the date till which it has been purchased. At this point you can choose to make an offer for that domain name. To check domain name availability first use the search bar at the top of the page to check if your domain exists.
Green results mean the domain name is available to register. Do a whois lookup to see when the current registration expires.
