Frequently Asked Questions

What is WHOIS and RDAP?
WHOIS is a query and response protocol used for querying databases that store the registered users or assignees of an Internet resource, such as a domain name. RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) is the modern successor to WHOIS, providing structured JSON responses, better internationalization, and enhanced security.
Why are some domain owner details hidden?
Due to privacy laws like GDPR and privacy protection services offered by registrars, personal contact information (name, email, phone number) of the domain registrant is often redacted or replaced with proxy contact details.
Is my domain lookup query logged?
No. DevFlow does not store, log, or track the domains you search for. The queries are sent directly from our server to the authoritative RDAP server and the results are returned to your browser.
