The WHOIS database is a searchable list of every single domain currently registered in the world. To find out who owns a particular domain name, all you have to do is type it into the box above.
The Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) requires accredited registrars like GoDaddy.com to publish the registrant's contact information, domain creation and expiration dates and other
information in the WHOIS listing as soon as a domain is registered.

What's in the
WHOIS?
So everyone can see my information?
The short answer is, yes. The name, address and phone number you submit when you register your
domain is publicly accessible by anyone at any time. This may be good news if you have a domain name
you'd like to sell. Or it may be bad news if your name and contact info is collected by a spammer, hacker or
other cyber-criminal.
How can I protect my privacy?
To keep your personal data from falling into the wrong hands, GoDaddy.com offers Private Registration through our partner, Domains By Proxy®.
Instead of displaying your personal information in the WHOIS database for all to see, Domains By Proxy® will replace it with their own. The domain will still belong to you - except now, you and Domains By Proxy® will be
the only ones who know it. See the difference.
What about my business? I want people to find me.
For businesses, GoDaddy.com offers Business Registration. Use this "virtual business card" to drive traffic to your website and increase the reach of your existing marketing efforts - without sacrificing
your privacy. For domains you can't afford to lose, there's Protected Registration. It prevents accidental or malicious
domain transfers and includes Private and Business Registration FREE. Find out more.
