What to Look for in WHOIS Data

StatusclientTransferProhibited = normal, serverHold = suspended, redemptionPeriod = recently expired.
Why can't we show WHOIS data directly? WHOIS queries require server-side DNS access which isn't possible from your browser. The lookup services above will show you real-time WHOIS data.
