How to look up a .asia domain

The quickest way is to type the domain into the search box above: W.is queries the .asia registry and shows the result in a readable format. You can also query the registry yourself from a terminal.

RDAP lookup

The .asia RDAP endpoint is https://rdap.identitydigital.services/rdap/domain/. RDAP returns structured JSON over HTTPS (RFC 9082 and RFC 9083); append the domain name to the endpoint:

curl -H 'Accept: application/rdap+json' https://rdap.identitydigital.services/rdap/domain/example.asia

WHOIS lookup

The .asia WHOIS server listed by IANA is whois.nic.asia. WHOIS (RFC 3912) is the older plain-text protocol on TCP port 43:

whois -h whois.nic.asia example.asia

Which protocol does W.is use?

W.is queries RDAP first for .asia domains and falls back to WHOIS when the RDAP server returns an error or leaves out data.

Frequently asked questions

What is the WHOIS server for .asia?

The WHOIS server for .asia is whois.nic.asia, as listed in the IANA root zone database. It answers queries on TCP port 43 (for example, whois -h whois.nic.asia example.asia). The .asia registry also offers RDAP, which W.is queries first.

Does .asia support RDAP?

Yes. The .asia RDAP endpoint is https://rdap.identitydigital.services/rdap/domain/. Append a domain name to it to get the registration data as JSON. W.is uses this endpoint first for every .asia lookup.

How do I check who owns a .asia domain?

Enter the domain in the search box on this page. W.is shows the registrar, registration and expiration dates, status codes and name servers reported by the .asia registry. Owner (registrant) details are often redacted for privacy; in that case the registrar is usually the way to reach the owner. Our guide on how to find a domain owner covers the other options.

When does a .asia domain expire?

Each .asia domain has its own expiration date, set by how long it was registered or renewed for. Look the domain up on W.is to see the expiration date reported by the registry. As with other ICANN-contracted TLDs, a .asia registration term can be at most 10 years. Our domain expiration guide explains what happens after a domain expires.
