ICANN Lookup Tool
An ICANN Lookup tool is a service that allows users to obtain detailed information about domain names. ICANN stands for Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. It is a nonprofit organization responsible for coordinating the global DNS (Domain Name System) to ensure the internet’s stability and security.
The ICANN Lookup tool is useful for verifying domain ownership, checking domain registration status, or investigating domain-related issues.
ICANN Tool Features
- Domain Registration Information
- WHOIS Lookup
- Domain Availability & History
- DNS Records
Domain Registration Information
You can find the registrant details information. A registrant is the person or organization that registered the domain, including their name, address, and contact details.
Identify the company or entity that manages the domain registration, often a domain registrar like GoDaddy, Namecheap, BigRock, etc.
Check the current status of the domain, such as whether it is active, expired, or on hold.
WHOIS Lookup
WHOIS Data: Retrieve WHOIS data for a domain, which includes details about the domain’s registration, expiration date, and name servers.
Privacy Protection: Determine if the registrant has used privacy protection services to hide their personal information.
Domain Availability & History
You can check availability and see if a domain is available for registration or has already been taken. Historical Data: You can access information about previous registrants and changes to the domain’s registration details over time.
DNS Records
You can view DNS records associated with the domain, such as A, MX, and CNAME records.
How to use the Lookup Tool?
You can use ICANN’s official lookup tool to perform these tasks. To use ICANN’s official tool:
- Visit the ICANN WHOIS Website.
- Enter the Domain Name: Type the domain name you want to look up in the search field.
- Click on the Lookup button.
- Review the Results. Examine the returned data for information about the domain’s registration.
Remember that due to privacy regulations (like GDPR in Europe), some personal information may be obscured or not available in the lookup results. Privacy protection services also affect the visibility of registrant details.
