FetchWhois queries the TLD's RDAP server

GoDaddy WHOIS lookups: what to expect
GoDaddy is the world's largest domain registrar, managing over 80 million domain registrations globally. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, GoDaddy holds IANA registrar ID 146 and is ICANN-accredited for all gTLDs and many ccTLDs. When you see GoDaddy (or its subsidiaries like Wild West Domains, which shares the same IANA ID) listed as the registrar in a WHOIS record, the domain's registration is managed through GoDaddy's infrastructure.
GoDaddy's WHOIS records follow standard RDAP structure. Registrant contact details are typically redacted under GDPR for gTLD domains. GoDaddy offers a privacy service called 'Domains By Proxy' — when enabled, the registrant details show Domains By Proxy's Arizona address rather than the actual registrant's information. The abuse contact listed in GoDaddy's RDAP records (abuse@godaddy.com) is the correct channel for reporting phishing, spam or other domain-related abuse.
GoDaddy domains often show nameservers like ns1.domaincontrol.com and ns2.domaincontrol.com if the DNS is managed by GoDaddy's own name servers. Alternatively, customers who use third-party DNS (Cloudflare, AWS Route 53, etc.) will show those providers' nameservers. Domain status typically includes clientTransferProhibited, clientUpdateProhibited and clientDeleteProhibited as standard GoDaddy security locks.
