Historical WHOIS Database - Records Dating Back to 1986

Every ownership change, registrar transfer, and nameserver update preserved since the internet began - giving you the context that current WHOIS alone can’t provide.

The WhoisFreaks WHOIS Database has been accumulating records since 1986, making it one of the deepest domain ownership archives available. With over 4.4B+ total records spanning current and historical data across all TLDs. Each of the 4.4B+ WHOIS records captures one dated state of a domain, so a transfer or nameserver change appears as a new record rather than overwriting the old one.

Historical Database

ICANN's 2018 Temporary Specification redacted registrant fields from public WHOIS going forward, but historical records captured before 2018 retain complete, unredacted ownership data - names, organisations, emails, and phone numbers. WHOIS records captured before 2018 retain unredacted registrant names, organisations, emails and phone numbers, which makes them usable for threat attribution and legal due diligence.
The WhoisFreaks WHOIS Database lets domain buyers check whether a domain was ever registered to a spam, phishing, or malicious registrant before acquiring it.

Global WHOIS Database: 1,529+ TLDs and 689.1M+ Active Domains

Every major gTLD, every ccTLD, and 1,529+ new generic extensions - all in one database. Filter by country, registrar, or TLD to get exactly the slice you need.

The WhoisFreaks WHOIS Database spans 1,529+ top-level domains covering every major generic TLD and all country-code TLDs. We track 689.1M+ active domains across all countries. On the generic side, .com alone accounts for over 430 million domains, with every ICANN-delegated extension from .academy to .zone included and updated daily as new registrations arrive.

Global Coverage

For country-specific needs, the database offers full ccTLD coverage - .uk, .de, .cn, .ca, .in, .au, .ru, .fr, .jp, and 200+ more with pre-filtered databases available segmented by registrant country or ccTLD, each purchasable individually.

FAQs

Explore frequently asked questions to better understand our features, functionality, and usage.

What is a WHOIS database?

The WHOIS database is a public directory that contains information about domain registrations, including the registrant's name, contact details, registration dates, and domain status. WHOIS database downloads, often referred to as 'WHOIS data downloads,' are comprehensive collections of WHOIS records. These records provide detailed information about domain registrations, including the registration and expiration dates, registrant contact details, physical addresses, and technical server information. The data in these repositories can be useful for various purposes, such as domain monitoring, research, cybersecurity analysis, and compliance checks.

What features are included in WhoisFreaks' WHOIS database subscription plans?

WhoisFreaks' plans include access to real-time WHOIS data, bulk WHOIS lookups, historical domain data, and API integration options. Specific features vary by the plan selected.

Are there any free trial options available for WhoisFreaks services?

Yes, WhoisFreaks typically offers a free trial or demo access for new users to explore their WHOIS database and API functionalities before committing to a paid plan.

How frequently is the WHOIS data updated in the WhoisFreaks database?

The WHOIS database ships as update files on a fixed schedule: daily at 02:15 UTC, weekly every Monday at 01:00 UTC, and monthly on the 1st at 02:00 UTC. The Database Files Status endpoint returns the latest available file date so you can confirm freshness before downloading.

Can I perform bulk WHOIS lookups with my subscription?

Yes, WhoisFreaks offers bulk WHOIS lookup capabilities with their subscription plans, allowing users to retrieve data for multiple domains simultaneously.

What is the difference between historical WHOIS data and current WHOIS data?

Current WHOIS data shows the most recent domain registration details, while historical WHOIS data provides insights into previous domain ownership, registration changes, and historical activity.

How secure is my data when I use WhoisFreaks services?

WhoisFreaks employs robust encryption protocols and industry-standard security measures to ensure that your data and searches remain private and secure.

Is API access included in all WhoisFreaks pricing plans?

API access is included in certain pricing plans, but the level of API requests and features may vary based on the subscription tier. Check the pricing page for specific details.

What payment methods does WhoisFreaks accept?

Is there a free WHOIS database download?

Registry WHOIS and RDAP services are free to query one domain at a time, subject to rate limits, but registries do not offer free bulk downloads. WhoisFreaks publishes a free sample: a complete daily update file in the same CSV format as the paid product, downloadable without an account.

Is WhoisFreaks suitable for enterprise-level businesses?

Yes, WhoisFreaks offers enterprise-grade solutions with advanced features such as unlimited API requests, enhanced data access, and tailored pricing plans for large-scale operations.

What is replacing WHOIS?

RDAP, the Registration Data Access Protocol, is replacing WHOIS. RDAP returns the same registration data as structured JSON with standardised field names and authentication support. ICANN has required gTLD registries and registrars to support RDAP since 2019. WhoisFreaks parses both protocols into the same schema, so your downloads keep the same columns.

Can I see a sample before buying?

Yes. The free sample is a complete daily WHOIS update file, downloadable without an account. Load it into your pipeline and check the schema, fill rates and TLD spread before you talk to sales.
