Domain Lookup

Domain Lookup offers 2 free tools with no sign-up to retrieve public information. Domain Whois checks the public data of a domain, for example to understand who it is linked to or when it was created. IP address Whois examines the registry and network of an address. These pages help webmasters, providers and curious users checking a domain before a purchase, an audit or a diagnosis.

The two tools differ by their starting point. If you begin with a domain name, use Domain Whois to view the public information associated with it. If you begin with an IP address, IP address Whois shows the corresponding registry and network. Start by identifying what you have at hand: a domain or an address.

How to use

  1. If you start from a domain name, open Domain Whois and collect the relevant public information before any decision.
  2. If you start from an IP address, use IP address Whois to read the corresponding registry and network.
  3. Compare both results when you need to link a domain to an address, without assuming the link is direct.
  4. Note the visible dates and public identifiers, then keep them for an audit or a later check.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the two Whois tools?

Domain Whois starts from a domain name and shows its public information. IP address Whois starts from an address and presents the registry and network. The choice therefore depends on the item you already know.

Are these lookups free?

Yes, both tools are free and require no sign-up. They run in the browser to view public information. That makes them handy for a quick check before buying a domain, running an audit or analyzing traffic.

Can I use both Whois tools in the same check?

Yes. Domain Whois helps place the domain, then IP address Whois clarifies the registry and network of an address found. This sequence is useful to verify a relationship between a name and an address.

Do these tools show private information?

They display available public information. Domain Whois shows what is published for a domain, and IP address Whois shows what concerns the registry and network. They do not provide access to private data.
