Frequently Asked Questions

How does the whois query work?
Domain whois query is carried out by sending it to the relevant Registry company or the database where the security conditions are allocated by the official registrants that host the whois server with special agreements over the authorized IP addresses.
What is secret whois record/information?
The identity information of some domains has been hidden. This is called domain whois protection. In order to reach the owners or financial or technical managers of domain names with whois protection, it is necessary to notify the proxy (proxy) address that assumes the confidentiality of whois information. Every whois protection service provider has to deliver the notifications transmitted through it to the real owner of the domain whose identity is hidden, in accordance with ICANN rules. Since the declaration is considered essential in this obligation, the correctness and up-to-dateness of the contact information is primarily the responsibility of the owner of the relevant domain in order to reach the real owner of the domain names whose whois information is hidden.
How accurate is whois data?
ICANN provides guidelines designed to keep the WHOIS database as accurate as possible. Domain owners' contact data may change, so domain registrars such as Atak Domain should give domain owners the opportunity to review and edit WHOIS domain data each year. According to ICANN rules, refusing to update this information or providing incorrect data may result in domain names being suspended or revoked. In addition, ICANN allows internet users to file a complaint if they notice that their WHOIS domain search data is missing or incorrect. In such cases, domain registrars should quickly correct and verify data. With this verification protocol, ICANN aims to provide the highest possible level of data accuracy.
How do I update my whois information?
You can update your WHOIS contact information in the Domain Manager of your Atak Domain account. You can complete this process in just a few easy steps and update contact information individually or in bulk. It is important to always keep your contact information up to date, both to comply with ICANN regulations and to ensure that you receive WHOIS correspondence with the correct email address.
Why Domain Privacy is Important?
In case where you do not activate your Domain Privacy, every user who makes a whois query will access your information. As a result of this, you are likely to receive unwanted e-mails called spam mail, unsolicited sms messages.
Which My Information Is Displayed in Whois Inquiry?
If your domain privacy is not active, your information can be viewed while making a Whois query. If your Whois privacy is active, no information will be displayed. If your whois privacy is not active, your information to be displayed in case of whois query is as follows;
- Personal information such as the name and surname of the domain owner,
- Address of the domain owner,
- E-mail address of the domain owner,
- Telephone number of the domain owner can be displayed.
Should I Hide Domain Whois Information?
Whois hiding is up to your personal preference, but we highly recommend hiding it. The reason is that when there is no whois protection, all your personal information (Name, surname, e-mail, phone number, etc.) will be viewable by everyone. This situation can result in a very serious breach of data privacy. What's more, e-mail and spam messages on your phone can also be annoying.
What is RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol)?
RDAP, which is created by the Internet Engineer Task Force, allows users to access existing registration data.
Is Whois Information Retained in the ICANN Whois Database?
"Extensible Provisioning Protocol" (EPP) domain status codes, also called domain status codes, indicate the status of a domain registration.
