WhoisWHOIS (who is) is the aptly named Internet function that allows one to query remote WHOIS databases for domain registration information. By performing a simple WHOIS search you can discover when and by whom a domain was registered, contact information, and more.
A WHOIS search can also reveal the name or network mapped to a numerical IP address. Originally, WHOIS searches were performed in a command line environment and took the form, [drive]:>whois domain.com. Searches can still be performed from the command line, but Web interface tools now make it convenient to visit a WHOIS website and simply enter the IP address or domain name.
