A database that contains information on who registered a particular domain name. The whois protocol allows Internet users to easily see and contact the owner of a domain name.

Digital Mantis frequently uses whois databases to find information on domain names. Many clients are impressed with our ability to easily peruse the whois information, and easily provide them with otherwise complicated (or even unattainable) information.

During domain name registration, there is an option to have your domain name registered privately. Private registration essentially removes any personal contact information from the domain name you are acquiring. While it costs extra (upwards of $20 a year), it completely hides the domain name owners information from the whois database.

Digital Mantis has aided clients in securing private registrations of domain names. While there is a small fee associated with private registration, it has helped ease the minds of clients who do not want their personal contact information to be available on the Internet.
