Registration, expiration, and update dates

How to Perform a WHOIS Lookup?

- Enter the domain name you want to check (e.g., mybrand.ph)

Why is some domain information hidden?
Domain privacy protection services conceal the registrant’s contact details to prevent spam and safeguard personal information. Truehost offers this valuable privacy feature as an affordable add-on for most domain extensions.
Can I view the domain owner’s contact information?
This is only possible if the owner has chosen to keep their details public. If WHOIS privacy is enabled, the owner’s email, name, and other personal information will not be visible.
What does a domain status like “clientTransferProhibited” mean?
This status indicates that the domain is currently locked by the registrar and cannot be transferred to another provider until it is unlocked.
Yes. The WHOIS record includes the domain’s expiration date, allowing you to track availability and plan accordingly if you’re interested in acquiring the domain in the future.
How to Hide Your Domain Information from WHOIS
To keep your personal or business details private in public WHOIS records:
- Enable WHOIS Privacy Protection (also called ID Protection) when registering your domain or add it later
- Truehost supports WHOIS Privacy on most domain extensions
- Your contact information is replaced with generic proxy details, protecting you from spam and unauthorized contact
Why is WHOIS Information Important?
WHOIS data serves several crucial purposes:
- Verifying domain ownership and registrant details
- Identifying hosting providers and technical contacts
- Resolving DNS configuration issue
- Supporting legal processes like domain dispute resolution (UDRP)
- Facilitating domain acquisition and transfer procedures
