What Is a Whois Record?
Think of a Whois record as a deed of ownership—but for domain names. A Whois record identifies who owns a domain name, where it is registered and the name servers on which it resides. Whois records are public information and are published and made available by domain registrars.
You can access Whois records in a lot of places, but you can only perform a DomainTools Whois search in one place!
