.كوم Domain WHOIS & RDAP Lookup

.كوم is an internationalized generic top-level domain (IDN gTLD). Look up any .كوم 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.كوم (reserved for the registry operator)

How to look up a .كوم domain

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

RDAP lookup

The .كوم RDAP endpoint is https://tld-rdap.verisign.com/xn--fhbei/v1/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://tld-rdap.verisign.com/xn--fhbei/v1/domain/example.xn--fhbei

WHOIS lookup

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

whois -h whois.nic.xn--fhbei example.xn--fhbei

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

Which protocol does W.is use?

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

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

Does .كوم support RDAP?

Yes. The .كوم RDAP endpoint is https://tld-rdap.verisign.com/xn--fhbei/v1/domain/. Append a domain name to it to get the registration data as JSON. W.is uses this endpoint first for every .كوم lookup.

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

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