You can use our free Whois Domain Lookup tool to query information about a specific domain name. The information displayed in the Whois results are referred to as “whois info” and will include domain owner contact details, technical contact information, and the domain’s current name servers (DNS).
Most domain names will provide a feature called “private registration”. This domain feature protects the personal information of the domain owner from the public. If you need to contact a domain owner, most private domain registration services will provide you with an alternate contact email that will forward to the domain owner but mask the owners email address. All domain’s purchased through Backlight Hosting come with Free Basic Privacy protection to protect your personal information.
Use the form above to lookup the whois information of a domain name.
You can update your WHOIS information in your Domain Control Center of your My Account.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is in charge of all things related to a WHOIS lookup.
A domain name can legally be owned by any person, entity, or organization. This person is known as the domain registrant.
A domain name is the first step to having an online presence. Instead of giving out an IP address, you can give users your easy to remember domain name (IE. yourcompany.com). This allows your potential visitors to easily remember how to get to your website.
Domain privacy is used to mask your personal information from WHOIS search results on your domain name. When you purchase a domain name through Backlight Hosting, your domain will come with our Basic privacy protection for no additional cost.
