.ابوظبي Domain WHOIS & RDAP Lookup

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

How to look up a .ابوظبي domain

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

RDAP lookup

The .ابوظبي RDAP endpoint is https://rdap.nic.xn--mgbca7dzdo/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.nic.xn--mgbca7dzdo/domain/example.xn--mgbca7dzdo

WHOIS lookup

The .ابوظبي WHOIS server listed by IANA is whois.nic.xn--mgbca7dzdo. WHOIS (RFC 3912) is the older plain-text protocol on TCP port 43:

whois -h whois.nic.xn--mgbca7dzdo example.xn--mgbca7dzdo

The commands use the punycode (A-label) form of the TLD, so example.ابوظبي becomes example.xn--mgbca7dzdo. W.is converts Unicode input for you.

Which protocol does W.is use?

W.is queries RDAP first for .ابوظبي domains and falls back to WHOIS when the RDAP server returns an error or leaves out data.

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

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