“WHOIS” is an online directory service that allows people to look up information about domain names. When you enter a domain into the search bar at https://www.canadaname.ca/domain-whois.php, a request is sent to the public WHOIS database of the domain’s registrar or registry and the stored record is displayed.

Registrar of Record (Which registrar the domain has been registered through)
The creation, expiry, and updated dates
