About the IP WHOIS Lookup tool

All computers or servers on the Internet have an IP address. IP addresses are allocated to organisations in blocks of contiguous addresses, who then allocate ranges within their allocation to their customers.

You can perform a query known as "WHOIS" to identify which organisation an IP address is allocated to. Use Cases

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

   Identify which organisation is responsible for an IP address
   Find out contacts to report abuse or technical problems with an IP address

Usage

Enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address in the "IP address" field.

Optionally select a regional WHOIS server to send your query to. Results

The raw output from the WHOIS database will be displayed.

The following example shows a WHOIS lookup for 2a00:da00:1800:82ea::5 - the IPv6 address of the Solid Tools for Developers web application.
