What is whois?
Whois is exactly what is sounds like, 'who is'. Looking up a whois record for a domain will connect to a remote whois database, and retrieve the information. This information can include the person who registered it, the person who pays for it, the registrar company, and more. This sometimes could take up to a minute depending on volume and tld.
