WHOIS is a protocol for querying the registration information of a domain name or IP address. Through this protocol, you can access important information such as who owns the domain, when it was registered, when it will expire, which registrar it was registered through, and its authoritative DNS servers.
WHOIS lookup is used for many purposes: checking the reliability of a website, finding out whether a domain registration has expired, investigating potential fraud and scams, or determining which organization an IP address belongs to.
After GDPR and other privacy regulations, many registrars offer WHOIS Privacy Protection services. When this service is active, the domain owner's personal information is hidden and proxy information is displayed instead. At ProxyTurk, we care about your digital privacy.
