DNF Whois Introducing WHOIS Lookup

[birajstbirajst is verified member.]

Hello Everyone ,

I'm pleased to announce that Whois Lookup is now available on DNForum:

https://www.dnforum.com/whois

Most domain lookup tools provide only a basic view of registration data, often requiring users to visit multiple sources to understand the complete picture behind a domain.

The DNForum Whois Lookup is built on RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) and retrieves live data directly from authoritative registry and registrar sources. Instead of presenting a simplified response, it exposes the underlying registration data in a structured and transparent way.

Key features include:

• Automatic RDAP discovery using IANA bootstrap data
• Separate Registry and Registrar information panels
• Registrar details and abuse contact information
• Domain status codes and lifecycle events
• Nameserver and DNSSEC information
• RDAP notices and compliance data
• Direct links to authoritative data sources
• Raw RDAP JSON for advanced users and developers

The goal is to give domain investors, researchers, brokers, and developers a more complete view of a domain's registration data without leaving DNForum.

You can also access the tool directly from the DNForum navigation menu by clicking Whois.

As always, feedback and suggestions are welcome.

@birajst, while you are working on displaying more and more details there: 1) can you please rename it "Deep Whois"? Thank you

As for the plan: please continue working on it: displaying A, AAAA, CAA, CNAME, MX, TX and other records (maybe similar as here: https://dnschecker.org/all-dns-records-of-domain.php).. also, we should have an opportunity to analyze subdomains there

An interesting one would be locating dmarc records (usually: _dmarc.domainname.com) >> this often shows an email address that is monitored by an admin = valuable email for any domain broker trying to buy or sell a domain name

Happy weekend, of course!! H
