.weibo Domain WHOIS & RDAP Lookup

.weibo is a generic top-level domain (gTLD). Look up any .weibo 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.weibo (reserved for the registry operator)

How to look up a .weibo domain

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

RDAP lookup

The .weibo RDAP endpoint is https://rdap.ngtld.cn/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.ngtld.cn/domain/example.weibo

WHOIS lookup

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

whois -h whois.nic.weibo example.weibo

Which protocol does W.is use?

W.is queries RDAP first for .weibo 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 .weibo?

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

Does .weibo support RDAP?

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

How do I check who owns a .weibo 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 .weibo 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 .weibo domain expire?

Each .weibo 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 .weibo registration term can be at most 10 years. Our domain expiration guide explains what happens after a domain expires.
