“WHOIS” is an online directory service that allows people to look up information about domain names in Canada.
Find details like these during your WHOIS lookup:
- Status (meaning if a domain is available or registered)
- Creation, expiry and updated dates
- Registrar information
- Registrant information*
- Who owns the domain
- Administrative, Technical and Billing Contacts*
*The registrant name, along with administrative and technical contact information of non-individual registrants, like corporations, is displayed by default. The registrant name, along with administrative and technical contact information of individuals, meaning Canadian citizens or permanent residents, isn’t displayed in WHOIS.
