Discovering up a domains details with DNS lookup
Information about who owns a domain is held in a database and can be viewed by anyone performing a DNS lookup.
What is DNS lookup?
Domain name DNS lookup is the process of finding out the details of a domain name,
where it is hosted, who owns it, and any relevant date such as when it
was originally registered and when the current registration expires.
This information is useful for discovering who owns a
particular domain should you wish to make an offer to purchase it, or
to discover the hosting and registration details to see whether a
domain might become available in the near future.
How to do a domain name DNS lookup?
There are a range of DNS lookup services, also called ‘whois’
services after the technology which enables the lookup to occur. In
order to get all the information you might need about a particular
domain, these services have to search through a variety of information
servers which are dedicated only to specific top level domains
(TLDs). This means that depending on the TLD (the .xxx part) of the
domain you are wanting to lookup, you may need to use a specific lookup
service. You can see a list of lookup services below (the list is
provided for information and we are not necessarily recommending any
particular service over another).
DNS (Domain Name System) servers are a directory of all the domains on
the internet and hold information regarding where and how a request for
a website at a domain is handled. Think of them like an internet phone
directory.
