All domain owners are required to have full and valid contact information listed in the WHOIS database. This is part of the registration agreement and failure to do so can result in having your domain name deleted.
Some types of domains do allow you to have placeholder information of another company as the domain owner. Speak to your Provider about “WHOIS Privacy” and if this service is available for your domain.

Detailed answer
All domains must have at least 2 name servers listed for them at all times.
If there is only 1 nameserver listed the Registry will place the domain into an inactive state and it will not resolve/function. For any other DNS issues please contact your hosting provider directly.

Detailed answer
WHOIS stands for “Who is?” and is a utility used to look up information on domain names. This includes contact information as well as some technical information such as the domain’s name servers (DNS) used for service, and certain Status information such as if the domain is Locked.
Enter the domain name in the form below to perform a WHOIS Lookup on it:
WhoIs Lookup
PLEASE NOTE: Some types of domains (TLDs) will not show all information (or will not show any information at all) from WHOIS utilities used outside the the Registry’s website for that type of domain name.
If you think you’re not being shown all information available, or no information comes through at all, please see the WHOIS section of this website and see if there’s an alternative WHOIS lookup for the type of domain you need information about.
The WHOIS section of this website will also contain information that explains certain things you need to know about some types of domain names, as well as what some Status codes mean.
