How to look up a GoDaddy domain's WHOIS record

Live RDAP data for GoDaddy-registered domains.

1Step 1

Enter the GoDaddy domain name

Type the domain name into the search box above. GoDaddy is the world's largest registrar — if you are unsure who registered a domain, check the WHOIS result to confirm it is GoDaddy.

2Step 2

FetchWhois queries the TLD's RDAP server

We query the authoritative RDAP server for the domain's TLD. The RDAP response includes a registrar entity identifying GoDaddy's name and IANA registrar ID (146).

3Step 3

View GoDaddy registrar and domain details

The results show GoDaddy as the registrar with IANA ID 146, GoDaddy's abuse contact details, the domain's creation and expiry dates, nameservers and DNSSEC status.

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.
