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

Hey Everyone

Something that was already suggested by @Helmuts in this thread is now live: DNS Lookup is now part of Deep Whois!

Until now, Deep Whois only showed RDAP/WHOIS data like ownership, registrar, expiry, and nameservers. There was no way to inspect the actual DNS records of a domain directly from the tool.

Now when you look up any domain, you will see a DNS Lookup section right alongside the WHOIS data. Just click on any record type and it will instantly fetch and display the results:

A, AAAA, CAA, CNAME, MX, NS, DS, DNSKEY, SOA, SRV, TXT

It is a basic implementation for now showing the core record data, and I plan to expand it further with more detail and a richer view down the road. Subdomain analysis and DMARC record detection are also on the roadmap and I will share an update once they are ready.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!
