What is the Whois lookup tool?

Hostinger’s WHOIS lookup tool shows the latest data registered on the official WHOIS domain database. With it, you can get information about the domain's registrant as many times as you want for free.

How does it work?

Whenever someone registers a domain name, they have to submit their information to ICANN. As some of this information is available on the public WHOIS database, you can access it using our lookup services.
