Registration
Run a WHOIS lookup for any domain. Find the registrar, registration and expiry dates, nameservers, domain status, and DNSSEC. digga queries RDAP first and falls back to raw WHOIS.
Apex, subdomain, or URL. We figure it out.
What you get
See who the domain is registered through, with the registrar IANA ID and an abuse contact when the registry publishes one.
Creation, last update, and expiration dates so you can tell how old a domain is and when it renews.
EPP status flags like clientTransferProhibited are decoded into plain language instead of cryptic strings.
The authoritative nameservers on record plus whether the registry reports a signed DNSSEC delegation.
A WHOIS lookup queries the registry and registrar records behind a domain to reveal who registered it, through which registrar, when it was created, and when it expires. It is the first stop for verifying ownership, checking a renewal date, investigating abuse, or researching a domain before you buy it. digga presents the data as a clean, structured record rather than a wall of raw text.
A typical record includes the registrar and its IANA ID, the registrant organization where it is not redacted, the creation, update, and expiration dates, the domain status codes, the authoritative nameservers, and the DNSSEC state. For many generic TLDs the registrant contact is redacted for privacy, so the registrar and dates are usually the most reliable fields.
digga queries RDAP first because it returns clean, structured JSON that maps directly into the record you see. When a registry has not rolled out RDAP yet, digga falls back to the classic WHOIS protocol and parses the plain text response. You get the best available data either way, with a toggle to view the raw response.
Since GDPR, most registrars redact personal registrant details from public WHOIS and RDAP. That is expected and not an error. A few registries, such as SWITCH for .ch and .li, also block automated lookups entirely. In those cases digga shows what is available and links you to a manual lookup at the registry or ICANN.
