WHOIS and domain lookup for UK websites

Look up a domain’s registration details and status where the registry makes them available. For .co.uk, .uk and international names, the information returned can differ, and personal details may be withheld. Confirm availability through the registration service before ordering.

START WITH THE DOMAIN

Look at the right information.

Registration information and DNS records answer different questions. A result should be interpreted alongside the actual service configuration.

Registration information

Domain registration information may show the registrar, registration dates and public status. Personal details may be withheld by the registry or registrar.

Keep a record of the current settings before changing a live domain. If a result is unclear, share the domain, record type and what you expected to see with the support team.

Read public registry data. Personal information may be withheld; a lookup does not confirm purchase availability.

A little clarity

Your questions, answered.

Does a DNS lookup change my domain?

A lookup reads information; changing DNS is a separate operation. Keep a record of the current settings and understand what a proposed change affects before applying it.

Why might a result differ from what I expected?

Check the exact domain, record type and service you are investigating. DNS and registration information answer different questions, and recently changed information may need further review.

Should I share passwords for a lookup?

No. A general domain-information question should not require a mailbox or hosting password. Use the client area for account-specific support and describe the result or error you see.

Where can I review domain charges?

The domain price list explains registration, renewal and transfer options. The client area confirms availability, premium-name charges, eligibility and final pricing before you order.
