Questions tagged [whois]

The WHOIS protocol allows a user to query the registrant of a particular domain name or IP address.

The WHOIS service is a TCP based protocol that allows you to look up the registrant of a domain name.

The WHOIS service sits on TCP port 43 and can often be found at whois.nic.tld (where 'tld' is replaced with the appropriate top-level domain such as .it or .xyz).

One way to use it is to simply telnet to it and send the domain name followed with at CRLF. For example:

telnet whois.nic.coop 43 midcounties.coop

You will then get a list of all the details about the domain.

HTML / PHP string is not passing IP to WHOIS

I am not sure if WHOIS changed their format, since it used to work, but now it does not. Does anyone know how to change this line of code so that the IP address is passed to WHOIS? Currently the WHOIS text box is empty. Thank you.
