Who owns your website?
Enter a domain. You get the registrar, the expiry date, the nameservers, where it points and who handles the mail. Nothing is stored and there is no sign-up.
What these fields actually mean
- Registrar
- The company the domain is rented from. Whoever holds this account controls the domain, whatever anybody else has told you.
- Expires
- The date it stops being yours if nobody renews it. A domain inside 90 days of expiry with nobody clear on who pays is the most common way a business loses its own name.
- Nameservers
- Who decides where the domain points. Change these and the site and the email move. This is the real control, and it is often held by a different party from the registrar.
- Points at
- The address the site is served from. Useful mainly for spotting that it is somewhere nobody mentioned to you.
- Mail handled by
- Who runs the email. If this is your web builder rather than you, losing the relationship means losing the mailbox.
Registrant names are redacted by default under ICANN privacy rules, so a blank owner does not mean nobody owns it. It means the registry does not publish it. Your registrar can tell you, if you have the login. If you do not have the login, that is the finding — and this is what to do about it.
