.ren Domain WHOIS & RDAP Lookup
.ren is a generic top-level domain (gTLD). Look up any .ren 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.ren (reserved for the registry operator)

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