Frequently Asked Questions
What is a WHOIS domain lookup?
A domain lookup retrieves public registration information, including registrar, dates, nameservers and any public contacts.
What does a registration record contain?
Depending on the registry, it can include registration and expiry dates, domain status, registrar details, nameservers and contacts. Private data may be redacted.
What is the difference between WHOIS and RDAP?
RDAP provides structured registration data over HTTPS. This website uses RDAP first and falls back to WHOIS when possible.
How do I search a domain?
Enter a domain such as sparkhost.in without https://, a path or an email address. Internationalized domains are supported when the PHP intl extension is installed. IP address lookup is not part of this application.
Why are some contact fields hidden?
Registries and registrars may redact personal information under their privacy policies. This service shows only data they make public.
How often can I refresh a record?
A lookup attempt starts a 30-minute cooldown for that domain. Until then, visitors share the cached result. Old records remain available until someone requests a refresh.
Does no record found mean a domain is available?
It may be available, but reserved, premium or restricted domains can also lack a public record. The seller must confirm availability and price.
How can I correct my registration details?
Contact your registrar. Once the registry publishes the change, refresh this website after the cooldown.
Can I register a domain here?
The purchase buttons link to the external seller configured by this website. Registration and payment take place with that seller.
What information is recorded about searches?
The domain, IP address, approximate country, lookup time and cache status are recorded. See the privacy policy for retention and provider details.
