Overview
WHOIS is a tool used to look up information about a domain name, such as the owner's contact details, registration and expiration dates, and name servers. It helps to identify who is behind a particular website or domain. WHOIS records are maintained by domain registrars and registries. The information obtained through a WHOIS lookup can be useful for various purposes, such as investigating domain ownership, checking domain availability, and combating spam.
