How do I check the Whois for my Domain Name?
After you have registered your domain name, you can check the Whois of the
same to confirm its
Registration as well as check the Contact Details and Name Servers of the domain
name.
You can use either of the 3 methods mentioned below, to view the Whois of your
domain name:From the SuperSite
Visit your SuperSite at http://www.pjldomains.com
and click on the Whois link below the top menu bar,
OR
you can simply click here - http://www.pjldomains.com/domain.php?action=whois.
Here, you would find 2 text boxes. In the first, you would have to
enter the domain name in the
form domain.com or
mydomain.info and not www.domain.com
and in the second box, enter the Security Key, which appears in the image alongside. On submitting this, you can check the Whois of the
domain name.

From a reliable 3rd party Whois
Provider
When using any third party Whois websites, you
need to ensure that you understand the following:
- When verifying the Registration details of .com/.net domain names, no 3rd party Whois site will be able to
display accurate Whois details until up to 24 hours after Registration.
This is so because other providers need to first query the
concerned Registry's Whois Servers, to acquire the Whois Server URL
of the Sponsoring Registrar [before querying the Registrar's Whois
Server for complete Whois details] and the Registry's Whois Server itself
updates its records in that much time.
- When verifying the Registration details of any other domain name extension [like .info, .org, .biz, .in, .us],
the Registry itself stores all the Registration details and
any 3rd party Whois directly queries the concerned Registry's Whois Server
for such details. Ideally, the Registry's Whois Server should
publish/update this data in every 5 to 10 minutes.
- Most 3rd party Whois sites cache
results from previous results of the queried domain names and may
misguide you. We would advise you to instead use
http://www.drwhois.com, when you wish
to have a 3rd opinion of a particular domain name's Registration details.
