[[Whois]] is a [[TCP]]-based query/response protocol which is widely used for querying a database in order to determine the owner of a domain name, an [[IP address]], or an autonomous system number on the Internet. Whois represents a protocol that is mainly used to used to find details and information about domain names, networks and hosts. The Whois records contain data referring to various organizations and contacts related to the domain names. The Whois protocols operate by means of a server where anyone is allowed to connect and create a query; the Whois server will then respond to this query and end the connection.
[[Data Escrow]] is the act of storing data with a neutral third party in case of [[registry]] or [[registrar]] failure, accreditation termination, or accreditation relapse without renewal. [[ICANN]] requires all registrars and [[gTLD]] registries to contract with a data escrow provider in order to safeguard registrants. Both registry and registry escrows follow the same system: a weekly full deposit on sundays, and a partial deposit on all other days containing all new data since the last full deposit. Registry Data Escrow is one of the essential stakeholder protection mechanisms for gTLDs. Registry Data Escrow ensures that the data associated with registered domain names is never at risk of being lost or inaccessible.
