A WHOIS lookup tells you public facts about a domain. It helps when a customer asks about a domain, or before you help with a transfer.
Steps
- Sign in to your brand admin.
- In the menu, open System → WHOIS Lookup.
- Type the domain, like samsbakery.com, and press Lookup.
What you see
- Available or Registered.
- Registrar: the company where the domain is registered.
- Registered, Expires (with how many days are left) and Last changed.
- Nameservers and DNS records (A, AAAA, MX and NS).
- Status flags, which you can open to read.
There is a limit on how many lookups can be made each hour. On plans that include domain sales, your website also has a WHOIS Lookup page for your visitors.
Common problems
It says invalid domain name
Check the spelling. A domain has only letters, numbers, hyphens and dots, and ends with something like .com.
