About this tool
GoDaddy Domain Search runs in your browser with no backend of its own. GoDaddy Domain Search queries RDAP — the structured successor to WHOIS — live from your browser against the public RDAP service.
Where a registry withholds contact details, GoDaddy Domain Search reports that rather than guessing. The lookup is sent from your browser to the public RDAP service; this site has no backend and never receives it, and a network connection is required.
