How to look up a .қаз domain

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

WHOIS lookup

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

whois -h whois.nic.kz example.xn--80ao21a

The commands use the punycode (A-label) form of the TLD, so example.қаз becomes example.xn--80ao21a. W.is converts Unicode input for you.

Which protocol does W.is use?

IANA's data lists no RDAP service for .қаз, so W.is looks up .қаз domains over WHOIS and turns the plain-text response into the same readable format.

Frequently asked questions

What is the WHOIS server for .қаз?

The WHOIS server for .қаз is whois.nic.kz, as listed in the IANA root zone database. It answers queries on TCP port 43 (for example, whois -h whois.nic.kz example.xn--80ao21a).

Does .қаз support RDAP?

Not in IANA's RDAP bootstrap registry, which lists no RDAP service for .қаз, so W.is looks up .қаз domains over WHOIS instead. The registry may still run its own RDAP server outside that list.

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

Each .қаз 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. Our domain expiration guide explains what happens after a domain expires.
