What's in the
WHOIS
?
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 GoWebsite 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.
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.
