The WHOIS tab is available at /whois/<domain>. The route keeps the legacy WHOIS name for compatibility, but StatsDen tries RDAP first for domain registration data.

RDAP-first results

When RDAP returns a registered domain object, StatsDen shows structured registration sections such as summary fields, domain statuses, events, nameservers, contacts, and notices.

No registration record

If RDAP returns no active domain object, StatsDen shows a no-registration-record result with a caveat. That result does not guarantee the domain can be registered; registries and registrars may still block registration.

WHOIS fallback

Legacy WHOIS is used when RDAP errors or is not advertised for the TLD. Unsupported RDAP is treated as a normal fallback state, not as a registration failure.

Homoglyph warning

The WHOIS tab also checks for common Unicode lookalikes, including punycode input. A warning appears when a domain may visually impersonate an ASCII domain.
