What is WHOIS and which data is stored there?

With a WHOIS query, information about the domain holder and / or the AdminCcan be obtained for a registered domain. Normally this is provided as a public information service accessible to all. The stored data is different depending on the registered domain extension (top/second level domain), because these are offered by different registries.

Based on the table below, you can see which data is displayed online for the domain holder and the AdminC for the respective registry. The registries are normally differentiated between the commercial and private registration of domains. This can mean that different information is saved depending on the registry.

Private people with a .eu domain can create a free Extranet account at EURid so that they can individually determine which WHOIS entries are displayed for the domain.
