whois Command Generator
Generate whois commands to look up domain info
Getting Started with whois
## What is whois?
`whois` queries WHOIS servers for registration details about a domain or IP — the registrar, creation date, nameservers, and contact info.
## How to Use
1. **Enter the Domain or IP**: e.g. `example.com`. 2. **Set a Server** (optional): `-h` to query a specific WHOIS server. 3. **Copy & Run**: paste the generated command into your terminal.
Flags & Patterns
``` whois example.com whois -h whois.verisign-grs.com example.com whois 8.8.8.8 ```
### Common flags - `-h <server>` — query this WHOIS server - `-p <port>` — use this port (default 43) - a domain or IP — the thing to look up
### Tips - For `.com`/`.net`, querying the registry (`-h whois.verisign-grs.com`) then the registrar gives the full record. - WHOIS output is plain text and varies a lot between TLDs.
