Deep Whois

Effortless Whois Lookup in 2024:
with RDAP, ENS, and IDN

In 2024, the landscape of domain management and Whois data lookup presents numerous challenges due to the increasing complexity of internet infrastructure. The continued migration from traditional Whois to the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP), the rise of decentralized domains through the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), and the growing prevalence of Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) have all added layers of intricacy to retrieving accurate domain data.

Additionally, the proliferation of new Top-Level Domains (TLDs) and Second-Level Domains (SLDs), along with the need to access multiple, sometimes private, Whois servers, further complicates the process.

However, with the Deep Whois iOS app and the Deep Whois command line utility for Terminal on macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD, navigating these challenges and accessing comprehensive domain data has never been easier, whether you’re on the go with your iPhone or diving deep into data on your Terminal.

Seamless RDAP Integration

As the internet continues its transition to the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP), Deep Whois stays ahead of the curve by offering full RDAP support. Whether you’re using the intuitive iOS app or the powerful Terminal utility, Deep Whois automatically connects to the appropriate RDAP servers for domain zones that have adopted this protocol. This ensures you always receive the most accurate and up-to-date registration information, without needing to know which domains have transitioned to RDAP.

Comprehensive ENS Support

Deep Whois also fully supports the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), making it simple to explore decentralized domain data directly from the Ethereum blockchain. Whether you’re looking up a ’.ETH’ domain or querying on-chain DNS domains, Deep Whois provides seamless access to ENS data. The iOS app and Terminal utility allow you to retrieve Ethereum wallet addresses, domain registration details, and more, all within a unified interface that bridges the gap between traditional and decentralized web spaces.

Effortless IDN Queries

Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) are increasingly common, allowing domain names to include characters from non-Latin scripts. Deep Whois supports IDNs across all platforms, enabling you to query and retrieve Whois data for domains in various languages and scripts with ease. Whether you’re working on iOS or in a Terminal, Deep Whois handles IDNs seamlessly, ensuring you can access the data you need in the language and format of your choice.

Extensive TLD and SLD Support with Multiple Whois Servers

Deep Whois stands out by offering extensive support for a vast array of Top-Level Domains (TLDs) and Second-Level Domains (SLDs). It connects to over 1,500 TLDs and approximately 9,000 total domain zones, including custom and private domains. This broad coverage is supported by access to over 1,200 verified Whois servers, ensuring that you can retrieve accurate, authoritative data for nearly any domain.

For TLDs and SLDs that utilize custom or private Whois servers, Deep Whois seamlessly integrates these sources into its lookup process. Whether you're querying a widely recognized domain like ’.com’ or a more niche or privately managed domain, Deep Whois provides consistent, reliable access to the information you need. This extensive infrastructure also means that even if a centralized registry is experiencing downtime, Deep Whois continues to deliver results through its redundant network of Whois servers.

Unified and User-Friendly Experience

The Deep Whois iOS app offers a sleek, user-friendly interface that makes domain lookups simple and fast, while the Terminal utility provides advanced users with powerful command-line options. Both platforms are designed to handle the complexities of modern domain data, including RDAP, ENS, IDNs, TLDs, and SLDs, ensuring you have effortless access to the information you need, whenever you need it.
