Where is my domain registered?
Enter a domain name. The registry of the extension answers: registrar, expiry date, transfer lock, DNS servers and DNSSEC. Free, with no account.
A few seconds. The registry of the extension answers over RDAP, and the result is kept for 90 days behind its own link. The name of a person holding a domain is never shown, and nothing is tied to your name.
Results are kept for 90 days.

Lose your domain, and your site and email go down
A domain name is rented by the year. An expired credit card, a renewal notice that goes to a former employee, and the domain expires: the site and the emails stop working. After the grace period, anyone can register it.
The domain should be in your name, in an account you control, with automatic renewal and the transfer lock turned on. If a former agency registered it for you, have it transferred to your name.
Questions about domain names
Registrars hide the contact details of individuals, and many offer a privacy service. For .ca domains, CIRA’s rules also hide individuals. This tool never shows a person’s name: your account with the registrar shows who owns the domain.
A status that prevents the domain from being transferred to another registrar until it is lifted in your account. It protects against a transfer you did not request.
The site and the emails stop working. The registrar usually allows a few weeks to renew it, sometimes at a higher price. After that, the domain is deleted and becomes available again.
RDAP replaces WHOIS: the same data, in a format every registry publishes the same way. The registries for generic extensions (.com, .org, .quebec) and CIRA for .ca answer over RDAP. A few country extensions don’t yet, and the tool says so.
It is used to query the registry of the extension. The result is kept for 90 days under its own link, so you can share it, then it is deleted. The tested domain is only tied to a name or an email if you send the form.
