Questions about
the WHOIS lookup
Short answers about what it checks.
What does server hold mean?
The registry has removed the domain from public DNS. You still own it, and your records still sit at your name servers, but nobody can see them until the hold is lifted. Your registrar can tell you why it was set.
What is the difference between client hold and server hold?
Your registrar sets client hold, often after a missed email verification or an unpaid renewal. The registry sets server hold, often after an abuse report or a legal order.
Why does the lookup not show who owns the domain?
Most registrars hide the owner's name and contact details for privacy. The lookup shows the registrar instead, which is who to contact about the domain.
