WHOIS // Lookup domain registration details
WHOIS is a legacy protocol used to retrieve information about domain name registrations. It provides details like the domain owner's name, contact information, registration and expiration dates, and name servers.
RDAP // Lookup domain registration details
RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) is the modern replacement for WHOIS. It delivers the same type of domain registration data in a more secure and structured format (JSON), with support for access control, internationalization, and redirection.
