Can I get contact info of the owner?
You can view the owner’s contact details only if they’ve chosen to make them public. If the domain has WHOIS privacy enabled, personal information like email addresses or names will remain hidden.
What does domain status like “clientTransferProhibited” mean?
This status indicates that the domain is currently locked by your registrar. A locked domain cannot be transferred to another provider until it is unlocked in your account settings or by your registrar’s support team.
Yes. The WHOIS record for a domain usually shows its expiry date. This lets you track when a domain is set to lapse, so you can plan ahead if you are interested in acquiring it.
How to hide domain information from WHOIS?
If you don’t want your personal or business details visible in the public WHOIS records, you can enable Domain Privacy Protection (ID Protection).
- Buy WHOIS Privacy Protection (also known as ID Protection) when registering your domain or add it later from your client area.
- With Truehost India, most domains support this feature.
- Once activated, your actual contact information is replaced with proxy details, helping shield you from spam, fraud, and identity theft.
Why is WHOIS info important?
WHOIS data plays a key role in the domain ecosystem. It helps confirm who owns a domain, identify the hosting or registrar behind it, troubleshoot DNS-related issues, and even settle disputes such as ownership or trademark conflicts.
