WHOIS
What is the WHOIS? The term WHOIS commonly refers to an electronic facility to query the details of a specific domain name in the .nz register. All .nz WHOIS queries are subject to terms that forbid the use of multiple queries to download part, or all, of the register for a targeted contact campaign or any other purpose (refer to the WHOIS Policy on this site for more details). <back What is the address of the public WHOIS server? The address of the .nz public WHOIS server is: whois.srs.net.nz <back How do I issue a WHOIS query? A WHOIS query can be issued by a number of means. Most people will prefer a user-friendly version available through a web site, you can do this through the domain search function on the DNC website. Alternatively, the more technically-minded can issue a command to the WHOIS server directly through their computer console (eg. WHOIS -h WHOIS.srs.net.nz dnc.org.nz). Authorised registrars can issue WHOIS queries directly to the SRS through an XML transaction. Technical details of the .nz WHOIS service may be found in the WHOIS specification on this site. <back Who do I contact if my information on the WHOIS is incorrect/needs updating? You should contact your registrar if any of your information is incorrect or needs updating. <back
