The Ultimate Guide to the WHOIS Database

The Ultimate Guide to the WHOIS Database

What is WHOIS ?

Phrase: who is

WHOIS is an internet record protocol which is widely used to find the information about registered  domain names with ICANNS and other information.

In other words, we can find the information of a blog or website with registration , DNS and availability. We can research domain ownership , update expiry date etc with WHOIS . So we could get all the information and contact to domain name owner.

What Port does a WHOIS use ?

A WHOIS server listens on TCP port 43 for requests from WHOIS clients. TCP port 43 is a set of instructions which further formalize that how the information is communicated over the network when a client search for a domain name, it helps to communicate the overall network and database more efficiently and get the results for us.

So this is the information that explain everything that we need.

Why We Use WHOIS Database:

Lets say we want to find some expire domain names and we find the names so we need their expiry dates, for that we use WHOIS system to find all the information which explain the age of the domain and when it will get expired etc.

Maybe we like a website and we want to buy, we need the information to contact so WHOIS database is the best option because it provide us the Email id , address along with the contact number.

That's it for today ...
