Domain & IP Registration (RDAP)
This action sends data to the server
Why: Read IANA’s official RDAP directory, find the responsible registry and request its public registration record.
Data sent:
- The domain, IP address or IP prefix you enter
- The generated IANA-directory and registry URLs, plus ordinary HTTP metadata
Data handling: IANA directory matching identifies the registry. Public-target and redirect checks remain enforced. Lookup data is not logged by this route; providers may log requests.
This app does not log, trace or save request/response payloads or uploaded files on its server. External APIs and storage providers apply their own retention policies; this app cannot delete their copies.

RDAP replaces unstructured WHOIS responses with registry-defined JSON. Contact details may be absent or redacted, and registry coverage varies. A registration record does not verify current website ownership or availability.
