.mls Domain WHOIS & RDAP Lookup
.mls is a generic top-level domain (gTLD). Look up any .mls domain on W.is to see its registrar, registration and expiration dates, status codes and name servers over RDAP, with WHOIS as a fallback.
Example lookup: nic.mls (reserved for the registry operator)

How to look up a .mls domain
The quickest way is to type the domain into the search box above: W.is queries the .mls registry and shows the result in a readable format. You can also query the registry yourself from a terminal.
RDAP lookup
The .mls RDAP endpoint is https://rdap.mls.fury.ca/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.mls.fury.ca/rdap/domain/example.mlsWHOIS lookup
The .mls WHOIS server listed by IANA is whois.nic.mls. WHOIS (RFC 3912) is the older plain-text protocol on TCP port 43:
whois -h whois.nic.mls example.mlsWhich protocol does W.is use?
W.is queries RDAP first for .mls 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 .mls?
The WHOIS server for .mls is whois.nic.mls, as listed in the IANA root zone database. It answers queries on TCP port 43 (for example, whois -h whois.nic.mls example.mls). The .mls registry also offers RDAP, which W.is queries first.
Does .mls support RDAP?
Yes. The .mls RDAP endpoint is https://rdap.mls.fury.ca/rdap/domain/. Append a domain name to it to get the registration data as JSON. W.is uses this endpoint first for every .mls lookup.
How do I check who owns a .mls 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 .mls 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 .mls domain expire?
Each .mls 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 .mls registration term can be at most 10 years. Our domain expiration guide explains what happens after a domain expires.
