Overview

What to know before using these checks

Domain evidence comes from multiple systems

RDAP and WHOIS describe registration data. DNS describes how the domain is delegated and resolved. Certificates describe names that have appeared in public certificate logs.

No single source is complete. Comparing them helps identify expired domains, stale DNS, privacy-redacted registration data and certificate mismatches.

FAQ

Common questions

Why is WHOIS information hidden?

Privacy rules, registry policy and registrar privacy services can redact personal contact data while still exposing operational registration fields.

Can RDAP show domain expiration?

Often yes, but field availability varies by registry. Some domains expose clear expiration events and others expose less detail.
