 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 (pronounced as the phrase Who is) represents a protocol that is mainly 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. |

| What We're Working On |
Giving everyone a voice in the future of the internet is our mission statement. That's why we have started a campaign to translate a set of essential articles into other languages. We have a good start with Spanish and Chinese content translated by a number of generous organizations. However, we do not want to stop here. The internet is a global entity that deserves to be understood and utilized by all. If you can contribute to this inititative in any way, please contact us.    |
