.com WHOIS Lookup
Look up any .com domain name instantly. FetchWhois queries Verisign's authoritative RDAP server to return the registrar, registration and expiry dates, nameservers, DNSSEC and all available contact details for any .com domain — free, live, no sign-up.
How the .com WHOIS lookup works
Live results directly from Verisign's authoritative RDAP server.
Enter a .com domain name
Type any .com domain (for example, example.com) into the search box above. Paste a full URL if you like — we strip the protocol and path automatically.
FetchWhois queries Verisign's RDAP server
We look up the RDAP endpoint for .com in the IANA bootstrap registry (rdap.verisign.com), then query it live for the domain's registration record.
Read the full .com registration record
Registrar name, IANA ID, creation/expiry dates, status codes, nameservers and DNSSEC appear in a clean layout. The raw RDAP JSON is available for developers.
.com domains: the world's most registered TLD
.com is the world's largest and most recognised top-level domain, with approximately 160 million active registrations. Originally created in 1985 to designate commercial entities in the United States, .com quickly became the de facto default TLD for websites worldwide, regardless of the registrant's location or industry. Verisign has operated the .com registry under contract with ICANN since 1993, making it one of the most stable and longest-running TLD registry operators.
Because .com has the deepest RDAP adoption, a FetchWhois lookup for .com domains almost always returns a complete registration record. Registrant contact details are typically redacted under GDPR for gTLDs, but the registrar name, IANA ID and abuse contact are always shown. High-value corporate .com domains managed by services like MarkMonitor or CSC often show additional organizational details. DNSSEC is increasingly common on .com domains, particularly for financial and government registrants.
