In addition, <strong>WHO.IS<\/strong> contains information about the owners of ranges of network addresses.<\/p>\n<p>This service is free, but users are immediately warned about the rules of order of information received. In practice, this means that the service user agrees to the terms in a list which includes the requirement to use the information only for lawful purposes and a ban on its use for the organization of spam. A service, in turn, keeps track of requests sent, and in certain situations, it may stop issuing information and to apply to the users actions.<\/p>\n<p>Access to the <strong>WHO.IS<\/strong> service is provided by many <strong>dedicated hosting providers, ISPs<\/strong> and <strong>simple site<\/strong>. But it is better to use to access it via the official focal areas in which there are verifiable domain names. Through <strong>WHO.IS<\/strong> service you can search for domains of the first and second levels in the .Com, .Net, .Biz, .Edu, .Info, .Org zones, and etc..<\/p>\n<p>For more information about domain, you only need to enter the address (eg, yoursite.in) in the box, or enter only the name and note the necessary areas for inspection, wait a few seconds and get the requested information. The number and content of information received about the owner of the domain name may be different from request to request &#8211; it depends on where and by whom the domain was registered you are interested. But the overall structure of a unified response and is defined in RFC 1834, which describes all possible fields. For information about individual objects (technical support, organization, person) must enter their unique identifiers (nic-handle), like so:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>TEST-MNT-RIPN (information on technical support);<\/li>\n<li>TEST-ORG-RIPN (data about the organization);<\/li>\n<li>TEST-RIPN (data about the person).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Here is a list of fields and their values that may be present in the received information about the domain:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>address: contact details of an individual.<br \/>\nadmin-c: identifier representative of the organization of the administrative contact.<br \/>\nadmin-o: ID Domain Administrator<br \/>\nbill-c: identifier representative of an organization or individual responsible for the payment of the maintenance of domain.<br \/>\nchanged: the last modified date customer information to the domain (leading to the launch of the testing process zone).

Number of fields in the answer may be different.<\/p>\n<p>It often happens that the information is displayed in separate blocks, each of which contains data on one aspect of the domain. These blocks are separated by the field (source), which indicates the database ID.<\/p>\n<p>In the areas .com and .net ownership information is contained only in the databases of registrars. Instead, the field (Referral URL) is a reference to the registrar&#8217;s website. This difference is explained by the fact that each registrar has its own database of domain owners, and to obtain information about the owner can only have a specific registrar. There are also differences in the fields, where the dates. In particular, the expiry date of domain registration. The date indicated in this field may differ from the current ten years and less, because in .Com and .Net zones, there is the possibility of renewal for up to ten years.<\/p>\n<p>And please note that the information obtained through the service <strong>WHO.IS<\/strong>, could be trusted, if not a few &#8220;buts&#8221;.
