About the Domain WHOIS Lookup tool

Computers use the Domain Name System (or DNS for short) to convert human-readable domain names (e.g. soliddevtools.com) into an IPv4 address (e.g. 109.228.50.239) or an IPv6 address (e.g. 2a00:da00:1800:15a::1).

You can perform a query known as "WHOIS" to identify which organisation a domain name belongs to.

Use Cases

Use the Domain WHOIS tool on Solid Tools for Developers to:

  • Identify which organisation is responsible for a domain name
  • Find out who to contact about a domain name

Usage

Enter a domain name (without the "www") in the "domain name" field.

Results

The raw output from the WHOIS database will be displayed.

The following example shows a WHOIS lookup for soliddevtools.com.
