Whois Lookup

How to find out who owns a .au domain

In Australia, domain ownership is managed by auDA (the .au Domain Administration). Unlike generic domains (.com), Australian domains require an ABN or ACN to register, making the WHOIS record a vital tool for verifying business legitimacy. Simply enter the domain name above to see the registered owner (registrant) and the registrar managing the record.

What information is included in a WHOIS record?

A standard WHOIS report acts as a digital "title deed" for a website. It typically includes:

• Registrant: The legal entity or individual that owns the domain license.
• Registration Dates: When the domain was first created and when it is set to expire.
• Nameservers: Where the domain is currently hosted.
• Status Codes: Indicators of whether a domain is locked or available for transfer.

Protecting your privacy with Australian domain registration

While auDA rules require that registrant names remain public for transparency, personal details like phone numbers and home addresses are often restricted in public WHOIS views for .au domains. If you are registering a .com or .net domain, we offer ID Privacy Protection to mask your personal contact information from spammers and automated scrapers.
