Every active domain is registered on the name of an individual and through the registration process a number of details are presented - the owner’s names, address, email, telephone number, etc. These details along with the registrar company name and the registration/expiration dates is called WHOIS of the Internet domain and in compliance with the policies of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) it ought to be current and correct. If a domain address has invalid WHOIS details, it may be reported and if the details aren't fixed, the domain may be erased or the registrar company may take over its ownership. By default, the WHOIS info is public and may be seen on many lookup websites, or for a limited number of country-code extensions - on the websites of the respective Registry companies. All companies that offer registration services are required to provide a simple way for their clients to access and edit the WHOIS information of any domain name they own as much as the particular TLD allows it.
