WHOIS

What is WHOIS?

The WHOIS service allows users to query a domain name to find the identity and contact details of the registrant. The public WHOIS service is a standard feature of domain name systems around the world.

AusRegistry operates the public WHOIS service for asn.au, com.au, edu.au, gov.au, id.au, net.au and org.au.

WHOIS provides the following information:

  • registrar of record for the domain name
  • registrant of the domain name
  • registrant contact name and email address
  • technical contact name and email address
  • computers for the domain name.

WHOIS does not provide the following information:

  • creation or expiry dates for the domain name
  • registrant telephone, facsimile or postal address

For more information refer to auDA's WHOIS Policy (2010-01).

auDA held a WHOIS Policy Review in July/August 2003 and August 2005.
