What is a WHOIS?
Posted: Fri May 14, 2010 3:19 pm
WHOIS (who is) is the aptly named Internet function that allows one to query remote WHOIS databases for domain registration information. By performing a simple WHOIS search you can discover when and by whom a domain was registered, contact information, and more. A WHOIS search can also show the name or network mapped to a numerical IP address.
