Name.com Reverse Whois Engine

Most domain name dispute resolution policies require a Complainant to prove instances of bad faith registration-a difficult task, to be sure. Reverse Whois is a powerful, convenient means of gathering evidential support for such claims, and can be used, by UDRP specialists, trademark attorneys, and service mark owners, to expose an offending Registrant's deliberate pattern of brand / trademark infringement.

What is Reverse Whois?

Reverse Whois allows users to perform advanced searches in Name.com Whois catalogue. With this tool, users may search for domain names by any relevant variable-registrant name, phone number, etc. Results are then returned in a professional report that includes full Whois data for each flagged domain name.

Why is Name.com's Whois database unique?

Name.com has amassed an extensive Whois library of generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs). In addition to current Whois records, our database has cached millions of records from the past 3 years. Currently, our Whois collection contains 26.4 million historical and 46.2 million active records. These records are compiled through a variety of channels, including queries performed on our active Whois portal.

How does Name.com construct Reverse Whois searches?

Searches are performed by matching desired variables against the full text of 72.6 million Whois records. In the near future, queries will become more flexible, and will include limit and expand functions that will allow users to alter criteria on the fly.

Is it guaranteed that Name.com will find a desired Whois record?

Because of the incompleteness and diversity of international databases, we cannot 100% guarantee the retrieval of a particular Whois record. Yet because of the quality of our results, our service is used by a growing number of Global 2000 companies to gain useful domain-related information.
