How to use Domain WHOIS
-
1
Paste your input
Enter the value at the top — domain, IP, URL, email, ASN, hash, whatever fits this tool. The smart input auto-detects type.
-
2
Click "Inspect"
host.tools issues real probes (DNS, HTTP, TCP, TLS, WHOIS where applicable) and renders the result in milliseconds.
-
3
Open the API tab
Every web tool has a sibling /api/v1/domain/whois JSON endpoint with the same payload. One copy-as-curl click and you're scripting it.
Why this matters
WHOIS, expiry, DNSSEC, name servers — domain metadata is the single most-overlooked outage source. Lock it down before someone else does.
API equivalent
/api/v1/domain/whois?q=www.wefollowthesun.art
curl -s '/api/v1/domain/whois?q=www.wefollowthesun.art'
Embed this tool
<iframe src="/domain/whois?q={INPUT}&embed=1"
width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Drop into any HTML page. The embed=1 flag hides nav and footer.

Live by default. Cached for 5 minutes to make repeat queries instant; pass
