About this extension
Opened for network infrastructure organisations and now open to anyone. Like .com it is run by Verisign and is a thin registry: dates and nameservers come from Verisign, registrant details from the registrar. The result page shows both sources merged.

What a .net WHOIS record shows
The result page shows the registry's RDAP record, merged with the registrar's own RDAP answer: registrar and IANA id, abuse contact, dates, explained EPP status codes, nameservers and DNSSEC. Since ICANN retired the classic WHOIS requirement at the start of 2025, RDAP is the authoritative source for .net; an individual registrant's personal details are usually redacted.
Next to the registration data you get live DNS, SPF/DMARC, the TLS certificate, the HTTPS response and the abuse
history of the hosting addresses on ip-db.com. Type just a name
(e.g. example) and .net is added; the same data is available from the JSON API.
