- WhoIs Domain Name Query
- This Domain Name Query shows the true availability of a domain name, regardless of registrar. It works for both ICANN and CORE registrars, not just the ICANN registrars like most other query sites.
You can try these queries to find out if another site's WhoIs query handles both ICANN and CORE registrars.

| Important Definitions |
|
| Under the new domain name management agreement, there is a separation of registration functions into two different distinct categories: |
- Registries
- Registries are organizations that have been given the exclusive right to manage and distribute domain names within designated top level domains. They maintain the database that indicates whether a domain name is available or registered. If a name is registered, the database will provide information on the registrar that manages the name and on the name servers for the domain. Registries also maintain the root servers for their top level domains. For example, Network Solutions manages the registry and root servers for the ".com", ".net", ".org", and ".edu" domains.
- Registrars
- Registrars are the entities that are responsible for the distribution of domain names to customers. They may provide registration services for names from one or more registries, including both generic and country-code top level domains. There can be any number of registrars for a given top level domain. For example, there are now many registrars who can provide domain names ending in ".com", ".net", or ".org".
