WHOIS data contains the official contact information linked to a domain name.
This information is stored at the registrar and registry level and identifies who owns and manages a domain.

WHOIS data is required for all registered domains.

WHOIS data typically includes:

• Registrant name or company
• Registrant email address

WHOIS Privacy and Data Protection #
