24/7 Solutions - WHOIS-service - how it works? WHOIS-service is used for definition of owners of the domains registered in Internet. It is the information service containing the information on registered domains, the companies or people addressed to which these domains are registered, and (sometimes) - about system administrators who are responsible for systems. Besides WHOIS contains the information on owners of network addresses ranges. Access to service - free, but users necessarily warn of rules of the order the received information. Practically it means, that the user of service agrees with the certain conditions into which number enter: the requirement of use of the received information only in the lawful purposes, an interdiction on its use with a view of the organization of a spam, an interdiction on carrying out selections the information, exceeding the resolved norms. It is forbidden to change the information received by means of service at its further distribution to commercial objectives. Certainly, this agreement it is possible to read through, forget and do all on the contrary. But service traces inquiries directed to them. In the certain situations Whois can stop delivery of the information and apply to users the actions which are not allowing them to break a condition of using by service. Access to service WHOIS give many projects, but it is better to use access to it on sites of official
coordinators of zones in which there are checked domain names, or on sites of those organizations to which you trust. For
zones .com, .net the official coordinator is company VeriSign. Its form of inquiry is to the address
of For reception of data on the domain it is enough to enter its address (for example, 24-7-solutions.net) in a floor of input to wait some seconds to receive the requested information. The quantity and the maintenance of the information can differ. It depends on, where and through whom the domain interesting you has been registered. But the general structure of the answer - uniform also is certain by document RFC 1834 in which the description of all admissible fields is given. For reception of data on separate objects (service of technical support, the organization, the person) it is necessary to enter their unique identifiers (nic-handle), for example:
The fields list supported VeriSign: address: the contact address of the physical person (unessential)admin-o: the identifier of the manager of the domain bill-c: the identifier of the representative of the organization responsible for payment of services on the domain changed: date of last change by the client of the information in object (leads to start of process of testing of a zone). For domains of the third level can name date when annual automatic testing a zone if the inquiry about updating of a zone will not be sent will begin created: date of registration of the domain; does not change at prolongation of term of registration, change of the manager or the registrar of the domain descr: the brief description of object in the any text form (a floor unessential) domain: a domain name e-mail: an e-mail address fax-no: number of a fax (with the international code and a code of city) free-date: date of clearing of the domain (it is underlined for domains with coming nearer for cancellation of registration) mnt-adm: the organization or the physical person who posesses service of technical support mnt-by: the identifier of service of technical support (service of authorization), the information responsible for a correctness on the domain in database nic-hdl: the identifier of object of a database nserver: the list of the DNS-servers supporting the domain (if the name of a server contains a name of the domain its IP-addresses are specified also) org: the name of the organization paid-till: date on which registration of the domain is paid person: a full name of the physical person (in English), a domain being by the manager phone: phone () with the international code and a code of city reg-ch: the identifier of the registrar to which the domain (if the registrar should be replaced) is transferred registrar: the identifier of the registrar remark: any text comments (a field unessential) source: a source of the information state: a condition of object tech-c: the identifier of the contact person on technical questions type: type of the domain whois: Whois-service of the registrar www: the URL-address of a site of the registrar x-freeing: the domain is a subject to removal from the register within an hour The information received in reply to inquiry, is often deduced in the form of separate blocks, each of which contains data on one of aspects of the domain. Blocks are divided by a field source in which the identifier of a database (in the resulted example it - RIPN) is underlined. Among them it is possible to allocate blocks of a network, the domain, the person. |
