Frequently asked questions: WHOIS Download service



What information can you provide?

We provide two types of data:

1. A simple list of all currently registered domain names. And lists of new domain names registered yesterday. These are simple lists containing only the domain name.

2. WHOIS data for newly registered domains. This record contains more than 40 fields including contact information, email, phone, fax, country, city, registrant name, expiration date, etc. This list is also updated daily.

By purchasing of access you get access to all the data we have in our service.



In which format the data is provided?

You download a ZIP-archive containing either a CSV table in the case of WHOIS data or a plain TXT file in the case of a simple list of domains. CSV file can be opened with a spreadsheet editor (e.g. Excel) or a plain text editor (e.g. Notepad++).



How to work with huge data files?

A single file containing all domain names or all WHOIS information can be very large (from 5 gigabytes) and contain more than 260 million lines. Such large files cannot be opened with standard tools. We recommend using daily update files of an acceptable size or using specialized software.

For Windows - glogg or Large file editor. For Linux - emacs, vim, grep, awk.



How often is the data updated?

The data is updated every day. Every day we post the list of domains and WHOIS information for freshly registered domains and update single archives with all data. The data is updated around 12-2am CET



How can I automate the downloading of data?

You can download data manually or use the API to download data automatically.
